Appl. No.:

09/838691

Inventors:

Srikanth R. Avadhanam - Redmond WA
Milind M. Joshi - Bellevue WA

International Classification:

G06F 700

US Classification:

707 2, 707101

Abstract:

A method and system for creating an index for a database table of records in a computer environment having a plurality of processing units wherein each processing unit has access to the database table. The method first determines partition delimiters wherein each partition delimiter separates the database table into non-overlapping partitions of records. Each of these partitions is dedicated to one processing unit for index creation. Next, each processing unit independently creates a sub-index, i. e. , different processing units create at least two sub-indexes. Last, the method merges the sub-indexes together to create a final index related to the database table.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707001000

Abstract:

The method and system of the claims decomposes an organization structure into a set of mapping objects, where each mapping object represents an affiliation between entities of an organization. Each object in the data model is associated with an owner by designating a set of ownership affiliation attributes for each object. A set of privileges is assigned to an affiliation and access is checked based on a user's affiliation to an object and a user's privilege depth. Single privilege checking is performed only as a last resort for special, infrequent situations.
