Data acquisition and cataloging are used to classify polypeptides into a reference index or database. The database can be used to identify previously unidentified samples. New polypeptides are characterized and added to the database.

Techniques are described herein for returning a repository to a prior state. The repository may be, for example a database, and the prior state may be, for example the consistent state that the database had at a particular point in time in the past. When a operator-caused error has been introduced to the database by changes made by an already-committed transaction, the techniques described herein may be used to recover from the error by returning the database to a point in time prior to the comm...

When a trigger and a method for changing partition definition information have been defined, a DBMS monitors the occurrence of the trigger. When the occurrence of the trigger is detected, a specified partition change is executed automatically. When the partition change is executed, migrations of data among storage areas are executed in parallel as long as the migration source storage area and the migration destination storage area of one piece of the data do not overlap those of another piece of...

Disclosed is a system, method, and apparatus for calculating metrics by using hierarchical level metadata to describe the various structures within the database. The hierarchical level metadata permit calculation of complex metrics by an analytical server which would otherwise be difficult or impossible. As a result of the way that the analytical server calculates the metrics, slicing and drilling are supported. Additionally, dimension and fact level security are also supported.

A system, method, and computer program product for in-database clustering provides the capability to perform cluster analysis and provides improved performance in model building and data mining, good integration with the various databases throughout the enterprise, and flexible specification and adjustment of the models being built, but which provides data mining functionality that is accessible to users having limited data mining expertise and which provides reductions in development times and ...

The present invention proposes a method for management of a database of a visitor location register in a telecommunication network, wherein said database has a predetermined storage capacity and is adapted to contain a plurality of data sets, each data set containing subscriber data associated to an individual subscriber of said telecommunication network or of another telecommunication network, said individual subscribers having at least once registered within a geographical area of said telecom...

A process for transitioning a hierarchical input database to create a hierarchical output database. The processing occurs generally in two stages. During the first stage, information contained in user-specified driver tables is utilized to extract only pertinent data from the input database and thereby produce intermediate data in a form accessible by the second stage. During the second stage, information from the driver tables is applied to the intermediate data to map this data to the required...

In a data processing system, application programs for the maintenance of a relational database may be constructed interactively and nonprocedurally. A data dictionary and screen-files are defined interactively and nonprocedurally. Data structures represent a meta-dictionary modeled as a relational database, a definition screen-file, a builder screen-file, and a set of archetype screen formats for modification.

A quick recovery of logical files which provide alternate views of databases is provided. Unchanged logical file pages are journaled before being changed. Transactions affecting databases covered by the logical files are also journaled. To recover a logical file, the journaled unchanged pages of the logical file that correspond to the changed pages are inserted back into the logical file, and the transactions that were journaled are processed to provide the changes to the logical file and to the...
