According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system enables control of database applications. The system comprises a computer system including a database application to provide access to a database system, and at least one processor. The computer system requests retrieval of application specific property information for the database application from a data repository, and applies the retrieved application specific property information to the database application to control operation of the database application. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for controlling database applications in substantially the same manner described above.

Method and system for centralized control of database applications

Provided are techniques for static execution of statements. Information from an execution file that describes statements that have been bound to a database during a previous execution of those statements dynamically and describes metadata about the statements is loaded. While executing a program that includes statements, for each of the statements, it is determined whether that statement is bound to the database. In response to determining that the statement is bound to the database, the statement is executed statically using the loaded information. In response to determining that the statement is not bound to the database, the statement is executed dynamically.

Static execution of statements in a program

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system for processing a computer program for a distributed server environment executes the computer program in the distributed server environment in accordance with a configuration for the computer program. The computer program is generated within a development environment. The configuration indicates a type of server environment and is associated with one or more data sets for processing by the computer program. The system monitors execution of the computer program within the distributed server environment and provides a program status to the development environment. The system displays results produced by the computer program within the distributed server environment via the development environment. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for processing a computer program in substantially the same manners described above.

Program development in a distributed server environment

Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for batching heterogeneous database commands. The heterogeneous database commands may include at least two database command types. Further, at least two of the heterogeneous database commands may include host variables. A request to execute the heterogeneous database commands may be received. The heterogeneous database commands may be sent to a database system for execution, responsive to the request.

Batching heterogeneous database commands

Techniques for scheduling multiple flows in a multi-platform cluster environment are provided. The techniques include partitioning a cluster into one or more platform containers associated with one or more platforms in the cluster, scheduling one or more flows in each of the one or more platform containers, wherein the one or more flows are created as one or more flow containers, scheduling one or more individual jobs into the one or more flow containers to create a moldable schedule of one or more jobs, flows and platforms, and automatically converting the moldable schedule into a malleable schedule.

Scheduling flows in a multi-platform cluster environment

Provided are techniques for collecting client information for client applications running on a client computer, wherein the client information includes a client application identifier for each client application that issues queries to a database along with text of each of the queries that the client application issues; collecting database monitoring information that includes text of each query issued against the database and performance information for each query; combining the client information and the database monitoring information based on the text of the queries to obtain combined information that provides the client application identifier and the performance information for each of the queries; and identifying a problem query and at least one client application that has issued the problem query using the combined information.

Client and database problem determination and monitoring

Provided are techniques for extending functionality of an application. A request to create an application object is received. In response to receiving the request, the application object is created, and an extension proxy object is created. The extension proxy object is wrapped around the application object. An invocation of a function of the extension proxy object is received from the application object.

Integrated extension framework

Embodiments of the invention provide coverage analysis of database elements accessed by a software application, thus providing improved and more complete testing of database-aware applications. In one embodiment, database elements accessed by the software application are determined during a run-time test of the software application.

Coverage analysis tool for testing database-aware software applications

A method of accessing layers in a multi-layer software architecture including a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. The method includes: at the third layer, publishing an interface; and at the first layer, before execution of a first function, registering a callback routine with the third layer using the interface.

Cooperative unwrapping across intervening wrappers

Embodiments of the invention provide an IDE tool that provides rapid application development features for a variety of disparate data sources. Further, developers may customize and extend the rapid application development features to suit their development needs in a particular case. In a particular embodiment, the rapid application development template may be configured to generate a set of configuration files localized used to deploy a 'lightweight' application, such as a web-service, to a particular application server.
