Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a system for improving the performance and efficiency of database servers by reducing the disadvantages associated with them. The system includes a decoder that receives and decodes database messages, extracting query-language statements from them. These statements are then cached in a cache application at a network location between clients and database servers. The system also includes an application that receives and processes the cached query results, reducing the time and load on the database servers. Additionally, the system enables application-layer monitoring of communication between clients and database servers, providing valuable information on the communication patterns. Overall, the system improves the speed and performance of database servers by optimizing communication between clients and servers."

Problems solved by technology

Processing large numbers of database messages at the database server tends to slow response time at the database server, which in turn tends to adversely affect service at the database server to clients.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]FIG. 1 illustrates an example system 10 including a database appliance. System 10 includes one or more clients 12 a database appliance 16, and one or more database servers 18. One or more links couple clients 12, database appliance 16, and database servers 18 to each other. In particular embodiments, a link includes one or more wires in one or more circuit boards, one or more internal or external buses, one or more local area networks (LANs), one or more metropolitan area networks (MANs), one or more wide area networks (WANs), one or more portions of the Internet, or a combination of two or more such links. As an example and not by way of limitation, a link coupling two or more components of system 10 to each other may include one or more of an Ethernet link, a Fibre Channel link, an Infiniband link, and a Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) link. Although particular links are described as coupling components of system 10 to each other, the present invention contemplates a...

Abstract

One embodiment includes a system providing application-layer functionality between one or more database clients and one or more database servers. The system includes one or more decoders residing at a decoding layer above a network layer. The decoders reside at a first network location between one or more database clients residing at one or more second network locations and one or more database servers residing at one or more third network locations. The decoders receive database messages communicated from the database clients and intended for the database servers and database messages communicated from the database servers and intended for the database clients, decode the database messages, and extract query-language statements from the database messages. The system also includes an application residing at an application layer above the decoding layer. The application resides at the first network location. The application receives and processes query-language statements extracted at the decoders.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]This invention relates generally to database systems and more particularly to providing application-layer functionality between one or more database clients and one or more database serversBACKGROUND[0002]A database server providing access to one or more database instances typically processes large numbers of queries, write messages, and other database messages from clients. Processing large numbers of database messages at the database server tends to slow response time at the database server, which in turn tends to adversely affect service at the database server to clients.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]The present invention may reduce or eliminate disadvantages and problems often associated with database servers.[0004]One embodiment includes a system for application-layer query result caching. The system includes one or more decoders residing at a decoding layer above a network layer. The decoders reside at a first network location between one or more database ...
