Methods and systems for selecting an existing connection from a connection pool. A connection is immediately decoupled from its client session when the client session is released by a user and made available to the same user or other users. Criteria are defined, applied and considered for either re-using an existing connection or creating a new connection.

Method and system for connection pooling for content management clients

Methods and systems for providing light weight client sessions. Connections are immediately decoupled from sessions when released by a user and made available to the same or other users. Re-authentication of the user to re-use a connection can be streamlined by maintaining client login data in a client login record cache.

Storing data is disclosed. An attribute is included in a combined set of attributes. The combined set of attributes includes a plurality of attribute values associated with an object and is stored in a single database field that is not specific to any one attribute in the combined set of attributes.

Efficient storage of non-searchable attributes

Retrieving stored data is disclosed. A retrieval request is received for an object. A retrieval response is generated that includes: 1) a first set of searchable attributes associated with the object, wherein an attribute of the first set of attributes is stored in a database in a manner that enables a database query to be performed against the attribute of the first set of attributes; and 2) a second set of non-searchable attributes associated with the object, wherein an attribute of the second set of attributes is stored in the database in a manner that does not enable a database query to be performed against the attribute of the second set of attributes.

Retrieval of searchable and non-searchable attributes

An attribute of a hierarchical class-based object is received. The attribute in a database is stored both in a first location in a first table at a first level of a hierarchy of database tables which table hierarchy is based at least in part on a class hierarchy associated with the hierarchical class-based object and in a second location in a second table at a second level of the table hierarchy which second level is higher than the first level.

Optimized fetching for customization object attributes

Storing data is disclosed. An attribute is included in a combined set of attributes. The combined set of attributes is stored in one or more database locations not specific to any one attribute in the combined set.

An attribute is received for storage. Whether the attribute is searchable or non-searchable in storage is determined. Storing the attribute as a searchable attribute comprises storing the attribute in a database table corresponding to a hierarchical class-based object. Storing the attribute as a non-searchable attribute comprises storing the attribute together with one or more other non-searchable attributes as a set of attributes. The set of attributes is stored in a database location outside the database table corresponding to the hierarchical class-based object, and the database location is accessed before the database table. A unique attribute identifier is associated with the attribute to distinguish between a name of the attribute and a name of one of the one or more other non-searchable attributes in the event that the name of the attribute and the name of the one of the one or more other non-searchable attributes are assigned the same name.

Identifiers for non-searchable attributes

Storing data is disclosed. An attribute to be combined with one or more other attributes is received for storage in a database as a set of attributes. A unique attribute identifier is associated with the attribute. The identifier is usable to distinguish between two attributes in the event that the two attributes have the same name.
