Latest Patents

Cox's latest patents include "Efficient undo-processing during data redistribution" and "Dynamic data compaction for data redistribution." The first patent outlines a method and system for facilitating an undo operation during data redistribution. This method involves generating control files associated with batches of data received from a sending partition. Each control file contains a list of pages and corresponding ranges of rows of data that have been appended to the pages. The method also includes writing these control files to persistent memory and identifying pages and rows to be deleted during an undo operation in response to interruptions.

The second patent focuses on optimizing data redistribution in a database. It describes a method where outgoing records are moved from a sending partition to one or more receiving partitions. This process creates free space in the sending partition, which is then filled with remaining records that do not leave the sending partition during the first scan.
