Keys are obtained and aggregated by storing a primary object as an entry in a parent keys storage and a child keys storage, the entry identified as unvisited in each. An object evaluation process is then performed until all unique entries in the parent keys storage and all unique entries in the child keys storage have been visited and by committing the keys of at least one related object as an entry to the hierarchical database. The object evaluation process visits each unvisited object in the parent keys storage and child keys storage by selecting, for the unvisited object, objects in the parent direction that have not already been visited and objects in the child direction that have not already been visited and by inserting the keys of the selected related objects as entries in the parent keys storage or child keys storage.

Aggregating keys of dependent objects for a given primary object

A system and method includes steps or acts of: organizing table partitions in logical order; presenting the partition table numbers and their current ending values in logical order to a user; receiving an alter command from the user, the alter command specifying at least one logical partition number and its corresponding ending value; internally matching the specified logical partition number to its corresponding physical partition number; altering the physical partitioning of the table by manipulating one or more current ending values of partitions by altering the current ending value of the physical partition to which the specified logical partition is associated, such that new ending values are generated; and automatically generating at least one data definition language statement corresponding to the alter command, using the new ending value.

Software managing long names in an application programming interface receives a request to perform a requested operation on one or more fields, the application comprising a first operation operable to perform the requested operation on at least one field type. The software determines whether the field type of any of the fields is incompatible with the first operation. If the field types of the one or more fields are compatible with the first operation, then the software performs the requested operation on the one or more fields using the first operation. If the software determines that the field type of at least one of the fields is incompatible with the first operation, then it converts the request into a call for a second operation operable to perform the requested operation on the one or more fields and performs the requested operation using the second operation.
