Benefits of technology

The disclosure describes a system that reduces latency in reporting using a cache server to cache previous query results. This is done by moving the driver for interfacing with the database to the server hosting the database, reducing slow protocol communications over a WAN. A custom driver is designed to interface with the cache server and control routing of queries and responses. This results in better performance and faster reporting. The cache server selected allows queries to be passed straight to the server hosting the database without having to pass through the query device.

Problems solved by technology

While ERP software effectively collects and manages data, viewing that data can be cumbersome with existing ERP reporting tools.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]The word “exemplary” is used herein to mean “serving as an example, instance, or illustration.” Any embodiment described herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.

[0022]For the purposes of this disclosure, “dependencies” are relations between a query result and one or more tables in the database from which that query result is drawn.

[0023]For the purposes of this disclosure, “query results” means data that is returned in response to a query and in either a raw or transformed state (e.g., filtered, summed, categorized, etc.).

[0024]For the purposes of this disclosure, a “driver” means a software, hardware, or firmware adaptor module or modules, or some combination of these, that converts queries and other communications and instructions to a protocol that can be communicated to and understood by at least a database or cache server.

[0025]ERP reporting systems can operate slower than expected by modern users becaus...

Abstract

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for ERP reporting using a cache server to cache previous query results. Query latency is further reduced by routing queries and responses to queries through the cache server rather than via direct communication between a querying device and a server hosting the database. This is done by moving a driver for interfacing with the database to the server hosting the database, thus avoiding slow protocol communications between this driver and the database when such communications occur over a WAN. A custom driver is also designed to interface with the cache server and control routing of queries and responses through the cache server. Further, a cache server is selected that enables queries to be passed straight to the server hosting the database rather than the query device having to pass these queries to the database.

Description

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE[0001]The present disclosure relates generally to database reporting. In particular, but not by way of limitation, the present disclosure relates to systems, methods and apparatuses for caching of query results from database queries.BACKGROUND[0002]Many organizations store financial data, manufacturing data and other critical data in databases or other electronic storage formats. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is business management software that companies use to collect, store, manage, and interpret this data. Today, Oracle is the largest ERP provider and sells multiple ERP solutions including Oracle Fusion, JD Edwards PeopleSoft, and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, to name just three examples.[0003]For purposes of understanding the data, the data must be reported in some form that makes sense to human or programmatic users. In other words, users typically want to see quantitative information “by” some criteria. For example, a user may want to see sales in doll...
