A method, computer system, and a computer program product for propagating a recording are provided. A recording is received from a user computer. The received recording is analyzed. In response to determining based upon the analysis of the received recording that at least a portion of the recording is suitable for propagation, the portion of the recording is transmitted to a venue for playing of the portion. In response to the transmitting of the portion of the recording, a confirmation message is transmitted to the user computer.

Systems and methods are provided to generate context-based questions from communications data. In embodiments, a method includes: determining, by a processor set, context of text under study obtained from digital communications data; generating, by the processor set, a text-based summary of the text under study using a natural language processing (NLP) tool to eliminate text from the text under study based on keywords of a dynamic knowledge base; constructing, by the processor set, a question phrase in sentence form based statements in the text under study, wherein the one or more statements constitute an answer to the question phrase; outputting, by the processor set, a question and answer set including the question phrase and the statements; and automatically updating, by the processor set, the dynamic knowledge base based on the question and answer set, thereby generating an updated dynamic knowledge base.

An embodiment for recommending routes in an enhanced navigation system is provided. The embodiment may include receiving a destination from a primary user. The embodiment may also include obtaining a tentative list of routes. The embodiment may further include identifying each user and characteristics associated with each user. The embodiment may also include analyzing current conditions of the tentative list of routes and the characteristics. The embodiment may further include identifying one or more optimal routes. The embodiment may also include recommending the one or more optimal routes to the primary user. The embodiment may further include in response to determining the primary user selects an optimal route of the one or more optimal routes, presenting the selected optimal route on a navigation display to the primary user.

A processor selects a first database and a second database from a plurality of databases. The processor determines one or more terms found in the first and second database, wherein each term of the one or more terms includes metadata of a database of the plurality of databases. The processor identifies one or more common terms between the first database and the second database and determines the one or more common terms found in each of a plurality of groups of databases of the plurality of databases, wherein each group of databases corresponds to a number of databases which constitute the group of databases. The processor determines a similarity score between the first database and the second database of the plurality of databases based on the one or more common terms found in each group of databases of the plurality of databases.

Similarity and ranking of databases based on database metadata

Compression of data for database movement, includes: selecting a first group of categorical columns for compression; selecting a next group of categorical columns from remaining columns for compression; repeating the selecting of the next group until a predetermined compression threshold is met; creating first compression files comprising compressed representations of the columns in the first group; creating next compression files comprising compressed representations of the columns in each of the next groups; storing initial row sort order, group identity, and column positions corresponding to each of the next groups; and storing any columns not selected for compression in an uncompressed file in the original row sort order. Decompression of the data includes: rebuilding categorical columns in each group of compression files using group identity and column positions corresponding to the group; and sorting rows comprising the rebuilt categorical columns to the initial row sort order.

Compression of data for database movement, includes: selecting a first group of categorical columns for compression; selecting a next group of categorical columns from remaining columns for compression; repeating the selecting of the next group until a predetermined compression threshold is met; creating first compression files comprising compressed representations of the columns in the first group; creating next compression files comprising compressed representations of the columns in each of the next groups; storing initial row sort order, group identity, and column positions corresponding to each of the next groups; and storing any columns not selected for compression in an uncompressed file in the original row sort order. Decompression of the data includes: rebuilding categorical columns in each group of compression files using group identity and column positions corresponding to the group; and sorting rows comprising the rebuilt categorical columns to the initial row sort order. Sorted rows for each group are merged with rows in the uncompressed file.
