| 20050038828 | Transparent migration of stateless sessions across servers Techniques allow a client to be migrated from a session that has been established for a client on a server to another session on another server in a way that is a transparent to the application for which the initial session was established. The sessions are migrated und... | 02/17/2005 |
| 20050038789 | On demand node and server instance allocation and de-allocation An approach efficiently and dynamically allocates and de-allocates database instances and nodes between databases. The approach performs this function in a way that accounts for the users of and services hosted by multiple databases. ... | 02/17/2005 |
| 20050038784 | Method and mechanism for database partitioning The present invention is directed to a method and mechanism for partitioning using information not directly located in the object being partitioned. According to an embodiment of the invention, foreign key-primary key relationships are utilized to create join conditions... | 02/17/2005 |
| 20050038772 | Fast application notification in a clustered computing system With fast notification of changes to a clustered computing system, through which a number of events are published for system state changes, applications can quickly recover and sessions can quickly be rebalanced. When a resource associated with a service experiences a c... | 02/17/2005 |
| 20050038835 | Recoverable asynchronous message driven processing in a multi-node system An approach provides for recovery of message driven directors responsible for dynamically allocating resources within a multi-node database system. The receipt of a message, the action taken in response to it, and other messages sent in furtherance of the action, are pe... | 02/17/2005 |
| 20050038849 | Extensible framework for transferring session state Techniques allow a client to be switched from a session on a server to another session on another server in a way that is a transparent to the application for which the initial session was established. Thus, under transparent session migration, a client is switched betw... | 02/17/2005 |
| 20050038848 | Transparent session migration across servers Techniques allow a client to be switched from a session on a server to another session on another server in a way that is a transparent to the application for which the initial session was established. Thus, under transparent session migration, a client is switched betw... | 02/17/2005 |
| 20050038834 | Hierarchical management of the dynamic allocation of resources in a multi-node system Approaches are used for efficiently and effectively managing the dynamic allocation of resources of multi-node database systems between services provided by the multi-node database server.
