Abstract
Methods, systems and articles of manufacture of processing a multi-state attribute field query. One embodiment provides a method of processing a multi-state attribute field query, comprising instantiating a plurality of live objects; performing, by each live object, an attribute operation, wherein at least one attribute operation is a comparison operation associated with attributes of the query. The plurality of live objects access a global status storage area only when an operand of the comparison operation is null or error. In any case, execution control is passed from each live object to an adjacent live object.
