DATABASE DISPATCHER

摘要

Example methods and systems are directed to dispatching database tasks. An application may access data associated with a task. The data may indicate features (e.g., processing functionality) that will be used to complete the task. The application may determine whether all such features are implemented in the database layer. The application may dispatch the task to the database layer if all features are implemented therein. The application may perform the task in the application layer if one or more of the features are not available in the database layer. In some example embodiments, the task involves materials requirements planning. Such a task may include determining, for a given bill of materials (“BOM”), the quantity of materials available on-hand, the quantity available from suppliers, the transport or delivery time for the various quantities, and other data regarding the BOM.

1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a processor of a machine, an instruction to perform a task; identifying a plurality of sub-tasks within the task; for each of the plurality of sub-tasks:
accessing a data structure associated with the sub-task, the data structure indicating a plurality of features related to the sub-task;determining whether each feature of the plurality of features is implemented in a database; andwhen each feature of the plurality of features is implemented in the database, performing the sub-task in the database.
