ONLINE DETERMINATION OF RESULT SET SENSITIVITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18345432 titled 'ONLINE DETERMINATION OF RESULT SET SENSITIVITY
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system that receives a database query and determines the output columns associated with the query. It then identifies the data sources associated with each output column and determines the sensitivity of these data sources based on metadata. The system also determines the sensitivity of the overall result set based on the sensitivity of the data sources. Finally, it transmits the result set along with its sensitivity information.
- System for handling database queries and determining sensitivity of result set
- Receives a database query and identifies the output columns
- Determines the data sources associated with each output column
- Uses metadata to determine the sensitivity of each data source
- Calculates the sensitivity of the overall result set based on the sensitivity of the data sources
- Transmits the result set along with its sensitivity information.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system includes reception of a database query, determination of result set output columns associated with the database query, and determination, for each of the determined result set output columns, of one or more data sources associated with the result set output column. Sensitivity information is determined for each of the one or more data sources based on metadata, and result set sensitivity information is determined based on the determined sensitivity information. A result set is determined based on the database query, and the result set and the result set sensitivity information are transmitted.
