AUTO REFRESH OF DIRECTORY TABLES FOR STAGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18341453 titled 'AUTO REFRESH OF DIRECTORY TABLES FOR STAGES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for managing file stages in a database platform. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves creating a file stage in a user account on a database platform, along with a hidden stage directory table and a data pipeline for the file stage.
  • The data pipeline is then linked to the file stage.
  • When an event occurs in the file stage, a notification is received.
  • The corresponding data pipeline is identified and the hidden stage directory table is updated.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Database management systems can utilize this method to efficiently handle file stages and data pipelines.
  • It can be used in various industries that rely on database platforms, such as finance, healthcare, and e-commerce.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the process of managing file stages in a database platform.
  • Provides a streamlined approach to handle events and update relevant data pipelines.
  • Enhances the overall efficiency and performance of database management systems.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved organization and management of file stages in a user account.
  • Faster and more accurate identification of data pipelines associated with file stages.
  • Real-time notifications enable prompt action and updates to the hidden stage directory table.
  • Enhances the reliability and effectiveness of database platforms.


Original Abstract Submitted

In one aspect, a method includes forming, at a database platform, a file stage in a user account on the database platform, the user account being associated with a client, forming, at the database platform, a hidden stage directory table and a data pipeline for the file stage, and binding the data pipeline to the file stage. The method also includes receiving a notification of an event of the file stage. The method also includes identifying the data pipeline corresponding to the file stage. The method also includes updating the hidden stage directory table of the identified data pipeline.
