Excellent, if different entry in this series.,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: James A. Garfield: The American Presidents Series: The 20th President, 1881 (American Presidents (Times)) (Hardcover)
As many have pointed out, this entry in the series is somewhat different because it was written by a doctor, and as such, focuses a good deal on the medical issues that led to President Garfield's death. I really enjoyed this somewhat different take on a president. To be sure, the introductory material dealing with President Garfield's youth and pre-presidential days was fairly standard and informative. He was an amazing character who came from humble beginnings to be a very well-read and eloquent politician. Most people probably don't realize that he was one of those presidents like Hoover who was seen as sort of a genius or star figure that held a lot of potential. Unfortunately, he had one of the shortest tenures as president because of the assassination attempt that happened so early in his tenure. The event and its results are well-detailed in this book. As it turns out, the President suffered what today would have been a non-fatal shot. Due to the relative lack of acceptance of medical advances at the time, a string of unfortunate treatments and procedures took place that led to infection and a prolonged painful and unfortunate decline towards death for President Garfield. The coverage of all of this, while sad, is also interesting. An additional side topic that gets briefly mentioned is the difference of opinion between Garfield and Vice President Arthur who was not well thought of but gained some respect in his own right after becoming president after the death of Garfield. All in all, this is one of the more informative entries to the American President Series and a good summary of a very interesting but mostly-forgotten president.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
I am using the w3c dom parser and noticed that the getNodeValue() method on an element object does not seem to be able to parse & correctly. The xml used is as follows:
<description>The most common concerns for many countries in the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region are related to resources and the environment. Whether it is oil, water, energy, human resources or climate change most of the countries suffer from mismanagement or the lack of such resources or even both.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o></description>
The returned result on calling getNodeValue() was: "< " It is truncating the string on seeing the "<".
what causes this?
if anyone knows why, please reply.
Sorry I'm not familiar with the DOM model (I generally use SAX), but in this case, in XML terms, the <description> element has no text associated with it. It just has an an enclosed SPAN element, which itself has an enclosed FONT element. So if you want the text, you will have to ask for the FONT text.
Have I missed the point?
Thanks peter_strange,
is there any way to get the elements inside the description as a whole including the tags..?
12-11-2009 06:24 AM - edited 12-11-2009 06:56 AM
The first thing I would look at is changing the process that generates this so that it doesn't include the formatting stuff in a document that you are sending to a BlackBerry to be interpreted as text. That is the easiest and best option.
As noted I am not familiar with the DOM parser. But if you know that there will be a FONT and SPAN elements, then it would surprise me if you can't go down the element tress to find the details you want.
Re getting the entire element, sorry, once it has been parsed, I have no idea. Hopefully someone else has.
Edit: But when you talk about getting the whole element back, you actually don't mean the whole element, you mean the text that exists between your <description> and your <\description> tags don't you?
Is the XML fragment you posted actually correct? Why is the xml tag in the middle of the document, and not at the start? Of what node value are you getting "<" back for?
thanks peter_strange for your concern,
but I can't change the process that generates it, am getting this from the webservice of a news chhanel and about the FONT and SPAN element, these comes with just this news channel and that is also not always. So, I can't go down to get the text in between these elements..
So, what I can try or what could help me is to get whatever is inside the description tag.
Thanks once again...
As noted I don't use the DOM parser at all, I use SAX. If I had to parse what you might or might not get using that parser, I would have to code some intelligence in the processing of the description tag, to do something setting a state variable so that the processing knows it is processing a description tag, then in the FONT and SPAN tag processing I would check this state and if in a description, I would attempt to extract the text associated with that tag.
I presume you can do the same sort of thing with the DOM model, i.e. look for some text in the description, if you don't find it there look at the enclosed FONT and SPAN elements (or whatever other elements you find).
Can't think of anything better than that sorry.

3. Add the diced onions and the shredded cheese to the peas and toss well.
4. Pour the mayo and sugar combo on top of the pea, onion, and cheese mixture.
5. Top with the bacon bits and mix well until everything is evenly coated.
6. Place in the refrigerator and cool for 20 to 25 minutes.
7. Remove from fridge, stir well again, and enjoy!!
tracycorley 3m agoInitially used 3 cups peas, 1 1/2 c mayo and 1 1/2 T sugar and 1 cup cheese but had too much dressing for my taste so added another cup of peas. Still too much dressing IMHO but good flavor. Next time will keep sugar and cheese the same, use 4c peas and maybe 3/4 cup mayo.
pjgossett 1y agoCut back on the mayo.
Erin_850 2y agoGlad it still worked out for ya. We like ours with extra "dressing" so I tend to get a little carried away :) Whatever suits your taste tho...did you cut the sugar down also? @pjgossett
pjgossett 2y agoI used half the mayo and it was plenty.

SheldonKitchen 2y agoLove it! I make it as often as I can. Great for an easy quick lunch while on the go at work. Will definitely add the hard boiled eggs in my next batch.
Erin_850 2y agoI'm so glad y'all enjoyed it! I've thought about using canned peas but didn't know if doing so would make the salad taste funny. Its good to know you had no problem using them...I'll have to try it now-it's definitely easier :) Thanks for trying my recipe out!
lorieichstedt 2y agoI love this, and so did my boyfriend and daughter! I cook real bacon and cut it up, instead of using bacon bits. And, I used 2 cans of peas instead of frozen. It made a wonderful side dish at dinner. :-)
AntarcticCat 2y agoMy local deli makes this with green onions and adds diced water chestnuts for crunch. It is so simple and good.
Erin_850 3y agoMy family request this dish so much Im pretty positive I could prepare this blindfolded. I felt I needed to at least add something else to the ingredients to change it up a tiny bit. I simply added about 4 diced hard boiled eggs. It was amazing! I might have to come up with something else to add later because they ask for it even more now.

The present patent application is being filed on even date with three other patent applications addressed to techniques for improving queryable caches. The present patent application is also related to U.S. Ser. No. 09/294,656, Cusson, et al., Web servers with queryable dynamic caches, filed Apr. 19, 1999 and to its PCT counterpart, PCT/US00/10516, which was published Oct. 26, 2000 as WO 00/63800. All of the related applications have a common assignee.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates generally to techniques for making frequently-referenced data more available to programs using the data and more specifically to techniques for making distributed queryable caches of data that is contained in large databases. The caches are transparent to the program that is querying the large data base in that the program generally need not be altered when a cache is added.
2. Description of Related Art
Local and Remote Copies of Data
A common problem in data processing systems is that frequently-used data cannot be quickly accessed, either because there is not enough capacity in the connection between the processor and the data storage or because too many program executions are contending for access to the data storage. One way of solving the problem is to make a copy of the data and put the copy in a location where it is more accessible to some of the program executions that are using the data. Those program executions can then reference the copy of the data in the more accessible location rather than the original data. In the following, the more accessible copy will be called the local copy, while the less-accessible original will be called the remote copy. It is to be understood, of course, that the terms remote and local represent degrees of accessibility and that both copies may be physically in the same location.
The local copy may be a complete copy of the data or it may be only a partial copy; further, the local copy may or may not be transparent to the executing program. When the local copy is transparent, the executing program can refer to a data item in exactly the same fashion as it did before the local copy existed. The reference goes first to the local copy. If the data is there (this is termed a hit), the data is retrieved from the local copy. If the data is not there (this is termed a miss), the reference goes automatically to the remote copy and the data is retrieved from the remote copy. When the local copy is not transparent, the program must be changed to take into account the fact that references are made to the local copy, instead of to the remote copy. In general, local copies of remote data that are both partial and transparent to the executing program are termed caches. Transparence is a relative term. Though the executing program need in general not be modified when the cache is added, the presence of the cache may result in some differences in the program's behavior, and in some cases the differences in behavior may require modification of the program.
Whenever there are local and remote copies of data, the copies must be kept consistent with each other. This is easy only if the data never changes; if it does change, then changes in one of the copies must be propagated to others of the copies. In some cases, the local copy is read only; the programs using it cannot change it, but changes in the remote copy are propagated to the local copy. In other cases, the local copy is updateable, and when this is the case, the updates must be propagated to the remote copy. When the propagation is done depends on how consistent the copies must be. For example, if the copies can be inconsistent for a whole working day, changes need only be propagated once a day. On the other hand, if it is required that the copies are always consistent, any change must be propagated immediately.
Local and Remote Copies of Databases
Databases are organized collections of data in which sets of data items are accessed by queries. The query describes the set of data items to be accessed in terms of the database's organization. The most common kind of organization for databases is relational: the data is organized into tables with named columns and rows. Each row has a field for each of its columns. A field for a column in a row contains that row's value for the column. Values in the fields can serve to uniquely identify rows of the database and to relate rows in one table to rows in a different table. A set of data items contained in a relational database is specified in terms of rows and columns of the table the items are in and values in the row or rows that contain the items. The following Employees table offers a simple example:
. . .
. . .
. . .
This table has three columns and a row for each employee. the emp_id field of an employee's row contains a unique identifier for the employee; the emp_name field contains the employee's name; the emp_pay field contains the employee's current pay.
Relational database systems use a language called SQL to specify data sets. An SQL request on a database describes an operation to be performed on a set of data in the database. The most common kind of request is a query, which describes an operation that reads the set of data. Other requests may modify the set of data or delete the set of data. For example, an SQL query to find out how much employee "Owner" makes might look like this:
This instructs the data base system to return the value of emp_pay from the row of the table Employees in which the field Emp_name has the value "Owner". The result of the query will be "$1,000,000". A database system contains not only the data, but also a description of the manner in which the data is organized. In the following, the description will be termed a data dictionary. Elsewhere, it may be termed the data base system's metadata or its schema.
Many organizations keep huge amounts of information in large central databases. As networks have grown, so has the potential for these large databases to be bottlenecks. The bigger the network, the more users, and the greater the problems caused by contention for the data base. Moreover, the network's carrying capacity is always less than the demands being made on it. As a result, it often takes a long time to transmit the query to the database, have the database perform the query, and have the results returned to the user. The development of the World Wide Web has of course increased all of these problems enormously. The database that contains the catalog of a Web merchant is accessible to literally everyone who has a connection to the Internet, and delays in getting a response are not only unpleasant for the user, but bad for the Web merchant's business.
A common approach to solving bottlenecks caused by databases is by replicating the data base. As the name implies, a replicated data base has a copy at another location. When a set of replicated databases is set up, methods are specified for keeping the replications consistent. A replicated database may be a complete copy of the database it is a replication of, or a partial copy. In the latter case, the partial copy is termed a materialized view. A materialized view may be read only, in which case, it is kept consistent with the database it is a copy of, but cannot be updated by the user, or it may be updateable, in which case the data items in the materialized view may be updated and the updates are propagated to the database of which the materialized view is a copy. A replicated database system provided by Oracle Corporation, of Redwood Shores, Calif., USA, is described in detail in the document Oracle 8i Replication, available in May, 2001 at technet.oracle.com/doc/server.815/
A problem with materialized views is that they are not transparent to the application program. If the application program provides a query to the materialized view that specifies a set of data items that is not in the materialized view but is in the database the materialized view was replicated from, the query simply fails, and the application must attempt it again on the database the materialized view was replicated from. Materialized views are consequently typically used in situations where it is possible to completely predict what queries will be made from a given remote location. The database tables needed to answer those queries are included in the materialized view, and since a miss never occurs, the fact that the materialized view provides no support to an application that has experienced a miss is not a problem.
However, as networks expand and more and more people need access to databases to do their jobs or to purchase products, selecting the right materialized view becomes more and more difficult. Oracle Corporation has responded to this problem by developing the queryable database cache described in published PCT application WO 00/63800, Oracle Corporation, Web Servers with queryable dynamic caches, published 26 Oct. 2000 and claiming priority from U.S. Ser. No. 09/294,656, Cusson, et al., Web servers with queryable dynamic caches, filed Apr. 19, 1999. The cache of WO 00/63800 is transparent. When an application program makes a query on the cache, the query goes to a data access layer, which provides the query to the cache. If the query misses, the data access layer redirects the query to a remote database. There is thus no need for the application to know anything about either the cache or the remote database.
Though the queryable cache described in WO 00/63800 does have the fundamental advantage of transparency to the application program, experience with the cache has revealed some areas where improvement is needed:
It is an object of the invention disclosed herein to solve one or more of the foregoing problems. As will be described in more detail in the following, the problems have been solved in an implementation of the queryable cache which is based on Oracle's techniques for making replicated databases that contain materialized views.
The problem of optimizing the two-phase commit protocol is solved as follows: in general, when an action is carried out in a distributed system, a component of the distributed system that is involved in the action is a coordinator for the action and other components involved in the action are cohorts for the action. During the action, the cohorts send messages which are available to the coordinator. In the optimization, each cohort augments messages which are available to the coordinator with information which indicates relevant state of the cohort with regard to the action. The coordinator reads the messages and retains the most recent relevant state for each cohort and performs an action according to the relevant state.
When the action is a transaction and the action performed by the coordinator is performing a protocol to ensure that the results of the transaction are consistent in the cohorts, the relevant state indicates whether the transaction will modify data in the cohort and the coordinator optimizes the protocol as determined by the retained state.
When the protocol is a two-phase commit protocol, the action performed by the coordinator is sending an abort message according to the two-stage commit protocol to a cohort when the retained state for the cohort indicates that the transaction will not modify data in the cohort.
Reference numbers in the drawing have three or more digits: the two right-hand digits are reference numbers in the drawing indicated by the remaining digits. Thus, an item with the reference number 203 first appears as item 203 in
The following Detailed Description will first describe database replication as it is implemented in the Oracle 8� database system to the extent necessary to understand the invention and will then describe the invention itself.
Overview of Distributed Data Bases and Replication:
Distributed Databases
A distributed database is a set of databases that appear to an application program as a single database. Database objects are stored in the databases. Among database objects are database tables, packages of procedures that operate on the tables, trigger procedures that are executed in response to changes in the tables, and indexes for the tables. In the Oracle 8i database system, objects are organized into schemas associated with users of the database. The user with which a schema is associated is termed the owner of the database objects in the schema. An SQL request may reference any of the database objects in the database. When a request references a stored procedure, the database system invokes the stored procedure.
When references are made to objects in distributed database 101, the reference must specify not only the object within a database, but also the database itself. Thus, a reference to an object contained in database 103 must employ the name of that database, MDB—1, as part of the reference. References that include the name of the database that contains the object are called global references. The totality of possible global references make up the global name space of the distributed database 101.
A database that belongs to a distributed database may refer to an object in another of the databases in the distributed database by means of a link. A link is a pointer in one database to an object in another. The pointer includes the global name of the object in the other database. A reference made via a link further contains sufficient information about the source of the reference so that the database that includes the object can determine whether to grant access to the object. There are two kinds of links:
Replication is the process of copying and maintaining database objects in multiple databases that make up a distributed database system. The objects that are copied and maintained are termed replicated objects. When a replicated object is modified in one of the databases, the modification is captured and stored locally before being forwarded and applied at each of the other databases. Systems 103, 119, and 121 contain replicated objects and are termed replication sites. There are two basic kinds of replication: multimaster replication and materialized view replication. Replication may further be done synchronously, i.e., modifications are propagated to the other replication sites substantially when they are made, or asynchronously, i.e., the modifications are propagated at some later time.
Multimaster replication is done in database systems that are master replication sites. There are two such sites in
Materialized view site 121 differs from master sites 103 and 119 in that it contains materialized view groups instead of replication groups. A materialized view group may contain fewer than all of the objects in a replication group 105. In addition, a table in a materialized view group may contain less than all of the data in the corresponding object in the master site or may include material from several tables in the master site. Such tables are generally termed views. In many cases, there is no actual table in the database system corresponding to a view; when a query specifies a view, the data specified by the query on the view is simply retrieved from the tables upon which the view is defined. A table that actually exists in the database system is termed a base table. There are situations in which an independent table corresponding to a view is produced and included in the database. Such tables are termed materialized views. Materialized view site 121 is so called because its database stands in the same relationship to the database in its master site 103 as a view stands to its base tables and because tables corresponding to the views on base tables in master site 103 that are included in site 121 really exist in site 121.
Thus, materialized view group 123(a) contains objects from replication group 105(a), while materialized view group 123(b) contains objects from replication group 105(b). An object that belongs to a materialized view group is termed herein a materialized view object. Materialized view objects may be read-only or they may be updateable. In the former case, changes made in an object in a master site that corresponds to an object in a materialized view group are propagated to the materialized view group, but no changes can be made in an object in the materialized view group by an SQL request directed to the materialized view group.
When a materialized view object is updateable, changes made in the materialized view object are propagated to the corresponding object in the replication group corresponding to the materialized view group, and if there are other master sites, to the corresponding objects in the replication groups in those sites. Propagation of changes made in the materialized view object is as described generally for master sites. Propagation of changes from the master site to the materialized view are always done in batch mode. A given propagation of changes from the master site to the materialized view is termed a refresh of the materialized view. Refresh groups 106 for the materialized view may be specified in replication catalog 115. A refresh group may include objects from more than one replication group, as shown by refresh group 106(i) in master site 103. Refreshing is done by materialized view. There are two kinds of refresh:
The Oracle 8i system can be set to automatically perform a complete refresh when a fast refresh fails. Such a complete refresh is called a force refresh.
A major problem for the database administrator who is in charge of a distributed data base system that includes a materialized view is making sure that the materialized view database contains copies of all of the database objects that are referred to by the application programs using the materialized view. For example, if the application program calls a stored procedure and the stored procedure is not in the materialized view database, the call will fail. In order to properly design a materialized view database, the database administrator must not only understand the relationships between the tables that are being replicated in the materialized view, but also understand how these tables are queried by the application programs and what other objects the application program requires. Once the database administrator has obtained a correct design, the administrator can make a template that specifies the database objects that are required for the materialized view database and the materialized view database can use the template to copy the required objects from its master database.
A system like system 101 may of course have any number of master sites and a master site may have any number of replication groups. There may also be any number of materialized view sites 121, but each materialized view site 121 must obtain its materialized view objects from a particular one of the master sites. Other embodiments may permit materialized view sites 101 to have materialized view objects from replication groups in more than one master site.
Modifying a Distributed Database System with a Materialized View Site so that the Materialized View Site can Function as a Queryable Cache:
A materialized view site is like a queryable cache in that it responds to SQL requests and moves a subset of the database objects contained in a master site closer to the consumer of the data. It is unlike a queryable cache in that it is not transparent; when a data object is missing in the materialized view site but present in the master site, a SQL request that refers to the data object simply fails, rather than being automatically redirected to the master site.
Database system 201 in
Database system 201 differs from the system disclosed in WO 00/63800, Cusson, et al., Web servers with queryable dynamic caches, in that the redirection is done within database system 203, not in the data access layer. It should further be pointed out here that the techniques of database system 201 only require that all of the references in the request received in database system 203 be resolvable in one or another of a set of database systems that either themselves redirect SQL requests or are reachable by redirection from database systems that do, with all of the databases in the set being reachable either directly or indirectly by a redirection that begins from database system 203.
Continuing in more detail with database system 203, like all database systems, database system 203 includes a query engine 205 and a database 220. Query engine 205 resolves the references in SQL requests and performs the operations specified for the references on the objects specified by the references, as indicated by arrows 213 and 215. Database 220 has two main components: tables 223 and procedures and triggers 225. The procedures and triggers are stored programs that are executable by query engine 205. A procedure is executed when an SQL request includes a reference to the procedure; triggers are associated with other database objects and are executed when a condition under which the trigger is to be executed arises with regard to an object with which the trigger is associated. The tables include data dictionary 219, user information 221, and user tables 223. As its name implies, data dictionary 219 is a set of tables that describes all of the objects in the database system. User information 221 is tables that contain information about users of the system.
As with a standard materialized view site, database system 203 is connected by scheduled links 227 to redirection target database system 229. If database system 203 contains only read-only objects, then the only scheduled link needed is one (solid line) that provides for any necessary propagation of changes in database system 229's objects that have copies in database system 203 to database system 203. If database system 203 contains updateable objects, then there is a scheduled link (dashed line) that provides for propagation of the updates of these objects to database system 229.
Database system 203 has been modified from a standard materialized view site to enable redirection as follows:
Continuing in more detail with miss redirection link 231, miss redirection link 231 is a generalized mechanism for transferring an SQL request or a portion thereof from one database system to another. It therefore does not connect a representation of an object in one database to the object itself in another, but rather one database to another. Because it is a generalized mechanism, it can be used to transfer an SQL request when there is a miss. The redirection links used in distributed database system 101, by contrast, simply permit a reference in an SQL request to be resolved not to the data itself, but rather to a specification of another database where the data may be found. Because this is the case, a miss will not occur where there is a standard redirection link and consequently, standard redirection links cannot be used to deal with misses.
With regard to miss redirector 207, an error handler 209 is a standard component of database systems. When an error occurs while the database system is dealing with an SQL request, for example, the request contains a reference to an object that is not in the database system, the database system produces an error message that identifies the error. Error handler 209 handles the error, generally by examining the error message and invoking a function that deals with the error. In database system 203, the function that handles errors resulting from misses is miss redirector 207, which takes either the entire SQL request or the portion of the request that caused the miss and redirects it via miss redirection link 231 to redirection target database 229, as shown at 234. When the result of the redirected request or portion is returned via link 231, as shown at 233, miss redirector 207 provides the result to query engine 205 for inclusion with whatever results were obtained locally. In a preferred embodiment, the database system employs an exception handling mechanism: an exception handler is defined for a particular set of errors and when an error occurs, the query engine raises an exception that specifies the error and invokes the exception handler; in the preferred embodiment, if the error is a miss, the exception handler then invokes miss redirector 207.
Optimization of Two-Phase Commit
Two-Phase Commit:
A problem in any distributed system with replicated information is making sure that the replicated information in each part of the distributed system is consistent with the replicated information in the other parts of the distributed system. In order for there to be complete consistency, the distributed system must guarantee that a change made in any copy of the replicated information will be made in all copies. As part of this guarantee, the distributed system must also guarantee that if the change cannot be made in one of the copies, it will not be made in any of the copies.
A common way of implementing the above guarantee is by defining a sequence of one or more SQL requests as a transaction and then applying a two-phase commit protocol to the transaction to ensure that all of the requests in the sequence either execute successfully in all of the databases in the distributed system or they execute successfully in none of the databases in the distributed system. In a preferred embodiment, the end of the sequence of SQL requests making up a transaction is explicitly marked by a COMMIT or ROLLBACK PL/SQL statement, implicitly by an SQL statement that changes the definition of the database system (a DDL statement), or by termination of the session which is performing the transaction. In the following, each of these ways of marking the end of a transaction will be called a termination of the transaction. In all of these cases but ROLLBACK, the two-phase commit protocol is executed as part of the statement or action that terminates the transaction.
In the database context, the two-phase commit protocol works like this: one of the distributed databases is the coordinator for the database transaction for which the protocol is being used; the other distributed databases are the cohorts. It should be noted here that coordinator and cohort need not be fixed roles. In many cases, the database at which a transaction is initiated will be the coordinator for that transaction and the rest of the databases will be the cohorts for the transaction. The coordinator and all of the cohorts have redo logs; whenever the database system receives a statement which modifies the database, it is written to the database system's redo log. The statement itself is executed on a temporary copy of the database object involved. Additionally, each database system has a commit log in which it records the state of the two-phase commit for the transaction. Phase one begins when something occurs in the coordinator which marks the end of the transaction. In response to the end of the transaction, the coordinator sends a commit request message for the transaction. Each cohort then reads the redo log for the transaction and determines whether it can perform the transaction. If the cohort can, it sends an agree message to the coordinator; if the cohort cannot perform the transaction, it sends an abort message to the coordinator. Each of the database systems also marks its commit log to indicate the state of the commit operation.
In phase 2, if the coordinator receives agree messages from all of the cohorts, it writes a transaction committed record to its commit log and sends a commit message to each of the cohorts. Each cohort responds to the commit message by completing the transaction (for example, by writing the changes in the buffer to the database), writing a transaction committed record to its commit log, and sending an acknowledgement message to the coordinator. When the coordinator has received acknowledgement messages from all of the cohorts, it writes a transaction completed record in its transaction log.
If the coordinator receives an abort message from any of the cohorts, the coordinator sends an abort message to all of the cohorts. The coordinator then uses the information for the transaction in the redo log to undo the transaction. When each cohort receives the abort message, it, too, uses its redo log to undo the transaction. If the coordinator wishes to retry the transaction, it can use the information in the redo log to begin phase 1 again.
Optimizing Two-Phase Commit when a Transaction does not Affect a Database's State
If a transaction does not affect a database's state, there is no need to do the second phase of the two-phase commit protocol with regard to the database whose state is not affected by the transaction. Hereinafter, any transaction which does not affect a database will be termed read only with regard to that database. An example of such a transaction is a read operation which redirecting database 203 has redirected to redirection target database 229. Redirecting database 203 is the coordinator here and redirection target database 229 the cohort. In the Oracle 8� database system, the two-phase commit protocol is optimized when at least some of the database systems are read-only with regard to the transaction by having the read-only databases respond to the request commit message with a read only message instead of the agree message. When the coordinator has received a read only message from a database system, the coordinator does not send the commit message to that database system.
Improving the Optimization:
In systems with database caches such as system 201, most of the transactions on cache 203 are read operations. Thus, substantial savings in system resources are possible if the coordinator knows at the end of a transaction whether it is necessary at all to perform the two-phase commit protocol.
A mechanism which ensures that the coordinator always knows whether a transaction is read-only with respect to a cohort is shown in
The mechanism's components are the following:
They are shown in
Outgoing link table 409 contains an object 411 for each combination of current transaction and outgoing link. Included in object 411 is current cohort status 413 for the link-transaction combination. Whenever the coordinator receives a message 403 from the cohort, it sets current cohort status 413 in the link-transaction object for the cohort from cohort status information 405 from the message. Included in cohort status information 413 is a copy 415 of read-only status bit 407 for that transaction. Read-only status bit 407(i) for outgoing link-transaction object 411(i) for the cohort's link thus indicates the read-only status of the cohort as of the last message 403 for the transaction sent by the cohort. Since the cohort status is per-transaction, the coordinator sets cohort status information 413 on beginning a new transaction to read-only.
A distributed transaction defines a tree of the database systems that are participating in the transaction. The coordinator is the root of the tree, but cohorts may be roots of subtrees. When a cohort is a root of a subtree, it is termed a local coordinator. As such, it not only responds to messages itself, but also passes them between the cohorts that are its children in the tree and its parent in the tree. Additionally, the cohort maintains its own outgoing link table as described above for each of its child cohorts. In setting bit 407, the cohort consults read only status bit 415 for each of the child cohorts and does not set bit 407 to read only unless the cohort itself and all of its child cohorts are in the read only state.
When the transaction terminates, the coordinator does the following for each cohort for which the coordinator has a link-transaction object 411: it reads the current value of read-only status 415 in the cohort's link-transaction object (519); if the current cohort status in the cohort's link transaction object 411 indicates that the current cohort status is read only (521), the coordinator sends the cohort the abort message from the 2-phase commit protocol (527); if the current cohort status for the cohort is not read only, the coordinator does the entire two-phase commit with the cohort (529).
In the optimization, the coordinator sends abort messages belonging to the two-phase commit protocol to the cohorts in two circumstances: when the coordinator desires to abort the transaction, as in the standard two-phase commit protocol, and when the read-only status 415 for a cohort indicates that the cohort is read only. Because the read-only status for a cohort cannot be read only unless the subtrees of which the cohort is a parent are read only, a cohort that is a local coordinator can react to the abort message in either circumstance in the same way: by sending abort messages to its children. If the children are local coordinators, they do the same with their children, and so on to the leaves of the tree.
For the other messages of the two-phase commit protocol, the local coordinators act in the same fashion as shown in
As can be seen from the foregoing, the optimization replaces the messages of the two-phase commit protocol with the single abort message when a cohort and any subtree of which it is the root is read only; moreover, the optimization eliminates for read-only subtrees the bookkeeping which the coordinator and local coordinators would otherwise do for them in the course of the commit protocol and further eliminates the bookkeeping for the two-phase commit protocol done in read-only cohorts by the cohorts themselves. When the cohorts have high percentages of read-only data, as is typical of caches, the two-phase commit protocol can often be reduced to an abort message sent to the cohort.
The Cache as Cohort
The use of the foregoing technique for optimizing two-phase commit with operations that do not change the state of the cohort is not limited to situations where the coordinator is a database cache and the cohort is a database from which the objects in the cache have been copied. For example, a cache such as database 203 is a member of a distributed database system that employs replication; consequently, if a transaction is performed on replicated data in another of the database systems in the distributed database system, the database system which first receives the transaction is the coordinator and the other database systems in the distributed system, including database 203, are cohorts.
An example of a transaction where database 203 is a cohort and the optimization is beneficial is the following: Database 203 contains a subset of the objects in the master databases of the distributed system, and thus, it can happen that an update transaction on a master database involves an object that is not contained in database 203. When the transaction is propagated to database 203, it will fail because the object is not contained in database 203. However, the failure of the transaction will not affect the state of database 203, and thus database 203 will send an augmented message that indicates that database 203 is read-only with respect to the update. The remainder of the protocol will then work exactly as described above.
Other Applications of the Optimization
While the preferred embodiment employs the optimization for transactions which are read-only with respect to one or more cohort databases, the technique is general and can be used in distributed systems whenever it would be useful for one component of a distributed system to have additional information about the state of other components of the system. With protocols for transactions, the optimization technique can be used in any situation where the protocol can be optimized if global or local coordinators for the transaction have current knowledge during the transaction of state in the cohorts that is relevant to the optimization. The only requirements for the optimization are that the messages sent from the cohorts in the course of the transaction are augmented with information concerning the relevant state and that the relevant state is available to the coordinator while the coordinator is performing the transaction. Of course, several different optimizations may be possible, and a given augmented message may contain relevant state for a number of optimizations.
The foregoing detailed description has shown those skilled in the relevant technologies how performance of actions in a distributed system may be optimized and how to use such optimizations. Applicants have further shown how their invention may be used to optimize the two-phase commit protocol and have shown the best mode presently known to them of employing their invention to optimize the two-phase commit protocol. The principle of the invention can be used in other protocols for ensuring that a transaction in a distributed database system has consistent results in all of the participating components of the distributed system and can be used generally whenever a coordinator component of a distributed system and cohort components of the system cooperate to perform an action and the coordinator component can optimize an action based on knowledge of the current state of the cohort systems.
It should further be pointed out here that the terms used to describe the participants in the action and/or protocol messages are shorthand for functions. Thus, any component of a distributed system that coordinates an action should be thought of as a coordinator, and the components coordinated by the coordinator for the action should be thought of as cohorts. Similarly, any protocol message that performs the function of what is termed an abort message herein should be thought of as an abort message.
For all of the foregoing reasons, equivalents to the structures and methods disclosed in the Detailed Description are intended to include not only equivalent structures and methods in other database systems, but equivalent structures and methods in distributed systems generally. Further, the Detailed Description is to be regarded as being in all respects exemplary and not restrictive, and the breadth of the invention disclosed herein is to be determined not from the Detailed Description, but rather from the claims as interpreted with the full breadth permitted by the patent laws.

Fantastic recipe! Made it for a dinner club. Everyone thought it was awesome and one of the recipe. Followed directions exactly as they were suggested.
Delicious rice!!!! I loved the flavor combination of the almonds, mushrooms (used fresh sauteed baby portabellas), lemon and sour cream (used low fat). I sauteed the almonds and set them aside then added the mushrooms with a bit more butter and sauteed them and set aside. I made 1/2 of the recipe for just the two of us and I put all the ingredients except the rice, mushroom/almonds and sour cream. I was making a grilled Greek flavored chicken breast to go with the rice, so once I got the chicken on the grill I finished up the rice and served them with some green beans and garlic bread for a fantastic meal. I loved the texture the almonds added to the rice. This is definitely a repeat rice recipe for me. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for Newest Tag Game.

Following exciting new models like the 2013 CX-5 and 2014 Mazda6, Mazda is getting ready to introduce the next generation of its high-volume compact, the Mazda3. After talking to several of Mazda's dealers, Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is planning to introduce its new compact this fall, which is earlier than what was originally reported.

Mazda's new Kodo design language is set to quickly spread across the automaker's entire lineup, judging by these spy shots of the next-generation Mazda3 that show some very familiar styling cues. No matter, we're impressed with what Mazda has done on the CX-5 crossover and Mazda6 sedan in terms of design, and we're happy to see the C-segment hatchback ditching the smile-for-a-mile Nagare design.

George Acosta at Glo 4
As a general rule, the top trance DJs are all European. One of the few exceptions that proves the rule is Florida-based trance hero George Acosta. He may not have quite the same cultural cachet as Tiësto, Ferry Corsten or Sasha, but he is certainly capable of spinning the same highly ornamented, melodic, pumping cheese as his Euro counterparts. From slick, pretty and soaring to hard, banging and soulless, Acosta can work both ends of the trance spectrum. His fifteen years behind the decks have been captured on mix discs such as Ministry of Sound's Trance Nation America and Ultra Records' History of Trance, and he's got a slew of his own trancetastic productions out, including "The Reaper" and "Mellodrama." His sets have soundtracked everything from Berlin's Love Parade to our own Rave on the Rocks, and on Saturday, January 24, you can catch him at Glo 4, courtesy of Floorbangrs.

It refers to a car that is good for drifting, which basically means letting the rear end of a car slide around a corner. Rear-wheel drive cars, for example.
If The Fast and the Furious is any authority on the matter, it would be a car that has a strong tendency to drift, or enter into a controlled (or semi-controlled) skid when turning.
According to a trailer (which anyone can feel free to link), the car tends to be light and the tires slick.
I would think it refers to the ability of the car to "drift", basically to go into a controlled skid.

Sorouh Advances as Developers Net Climbs: Abu Dhabi Mover
Sorouh Real Estate PJSC, the Abu Dhabi developer that's in merger talks with Aldar Properties PJSC, rallied to the highest close in seven weeks after quarterly profit jumped 34 percent on lower costs.
The shares gained 1.9 percent to 1.05 dirhams, the highest since June 11, at the close in Abu Dhabi. Net income in the second quarter rose to 148.2 million dirhams ($40 million), Sorouh said in an e-mailed statement today, beating the 52 million-dirham median estimate of three analysts compiled by Bloomberg show.
Sorouh expects recurring income to increase it opens a mall in Al Ain in the fourth-quarter, Chief Financial Officer Richard Amos told reporters on a conference call today. It will also hand over the Al Rayyana housing project soon and expects to deliver 375 apartments in a building it bought from Tamouh, another Abu Dhabi developer, he said. Six analysts recommend investors buy the shares, while five say to hold and two suggest selling, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"The quality of earnings continues to improve through the diversification and strengthening of revenue streams," Managing Director Abubaker Al Khouri said in the statement.
The nation's developers are generally paid in installments as construction progresses and receive a final sum when the property is handed over to the buyer. Sorouh's costs fell 53 percent to 532 million dirhams in the quarter, while revenue dropped 44 percent to 681 million dirhams.
Home Deliveries
The developer plans to deliver 9,300 housing units this year and in 2013, including 2,300 in projects for U.A.E. nationals.
Shares of the company have advanced 24 percent this year, compared with a 4.3 percent gain in the benchmark ADX General Index. Sorouh and Aldar, Abu Dhabi's biggest developer by market value, are exploring a merger with the support of the government, which owns stakes in both developers. The companies said in June the due diligence process would take months.
Sorouh, which spent 1.5 billion dirhams on projects in the three months ended June 30, has 2.35 billion dirhams of debt maturing in 2014, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The company has 1 billion dirhams of cash and has no need to raise funds this year, Amos said.

There is a second collection of midrange and top-end hotels, restaurants and souvenir shops 2km downhill, closer to the Petra entrance. There are also a number of four- and five-star hotels on the 'rim' of Wadi Musa, on the road towards Wadi Rum, all of which have wonderful views – not of Petra but of the unique surrounding landscape.

For September we'll be reading the book that inspired the fantastic Tim Burton movie, Big Fish by Daniel Wallace:
In his prime, Edward Bloom was an extraordinary man. He could outrun anybody. He never missed a day of school. He saved lives and tamed giants. Animals loved him, people loved him, women loved him. He knew more jokes than any man alive. At least that's what he told his son, William. But now Edward Bloom is dying, and William wants desperately to know the truth about his elusive father —this indefatigable teller of tall tales—before it's too late. So, using the few facts he knows, William re-creates Edward's life in a series of legends and myths—hilarious and wrenching, tender and outrageous—through which he begins to understand his father's great feats, and his great failings.
This was such a great movie, we might organize a movie showing if anyone has not caught it (after we read the book of course). Also note that as the weather will likely be changing about now I've switched us back to Market of Choice as we may lose our fantastic summer patio weather. Although I'm not enamored with MoC, it is a good large free space that makes it easy to hear everyone. But if you have other suggestions I'm certainly open, the problem with places like New Day indoors is that a bit long table with the ambient noise of an indoor space makes it hard to hear those who aren't sitting directly by you...
Fun. Thanks for hosting this Chad.

Just a reminder everyone, we'll be meeting at my house (1862 Jefferson St) to watch the movie after discussing the book. I'll pop some popcorn, please bring your own beverages (I'll have water and some juice) or snacks if you would like (or bring something to share!). My house is also right next to the Little Y market so you can always grab something there as well.
