Latest Patents

Among his latest patents is the "Idempotent command execution," which describes systems and methods that facilitate the idempotent execution of commands generated by a client for execution by a database server. Each command transmitted to the server includes a command ID generated by the client. The server attempts to execute each command and subsequently stores the command ID associated therewith in a repository along with an indication of whether the command executed successfully. When a new command is received by the server, it determines if the command ID associated therewith has already been stored in the repository. If the command ID associated with the new command has not already been stored in the repository, then the server executes the new command. If the command ID associated with the new command has already been stored in the repository and a previously-received command associated with the command ID has been executed successfully, then the server will not execute the new command.

Another significant patent is "Automatic data request recovery after session failure," which outlines techniques for recovering from session failures between clients and database servers. A session may be established between a client and a first database server to handle a database query for the client. A command of the session may be received by the first database server from the client. Data requested by the command may be retrieved. Prior to responding to the command, the data is spooled to a session state stored in a repository of the first database server, and the session state is replicated to one or more additional database servers. The session state stored in the repository of the first database server enables the first database server and client to recover from a failure of the session. The replicated session state enables the additional database server(s) to reestablish the session and respond to the command, instead of the first database server, if the session fails.
