Appeal No. 2003-1160
Application 09/418,705
application program interface call having originated from a user-
generated specification, and inserting the set of objects into a
database cache.
The portion of Malloy relied upon by the examiner (answer,
page 4) discloses an IBM DB2 relational database management
system program, executed by an online analytical processing
server, that performs various database operations including
search and retrieval operations and insert operations (col. 5,
lines 48-53).
Pouschine discloses a distributed online analytical
processor that caches some data for faster querying and
calculating (col. 8, line 61 - col. 9, line 4; col. 15, lines 53-
57; col. 16, lines 1-3 and 46-49).
The examiner argues that “Pouschine discloses the use of
‘receiving at least one of either a user generated query
identifying a set of objects to cache for later use’” (answer,
page 4). The portions of Pouschine relied upon by the examiner
(answer, page 5), however (col. 7, line 25 - col. 8, line 37;
col. 9, lines 57-67, col. 11, lines 19-27; col. 17, lines 20-30),
do not contain such a disclosure.
