Enforcement of sets of query rules for access to data supplied by a plurality of data providers

A query processing system of an analytics system comprises:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory that stores operational instructions, that when executed by the at least one processor cause the query processing system to:
• determine a first set of query rules for first data received from a first data provider,
• wherein each of first set of query rules indicates parameter data;
• determine a second set of query rules for second data received from a second data provider;
• receive a query from a requesting entity;
• determine parameters for the query;
• determine the query involves at least one query function that accesses a subset of the first data;
• filter the first set of query rules to generate a proper subset of the first set of query rules by selecting only ones of the first set of query rules with parameter data that compares favorably to the parameters determined for the query;
• generate compliance data by determining whether the query complies with each of the proper subset of the first set of query rules the first set of query rules based on determining the query indicates at least one query function that accesses the subset of the first data, wherein generating the compliance data includes determining whether the query complies with each of the proper subset of the first set of query rules, wherein the compliance data indicates the query complies with the first set of query rules when the query is determined to comply with every one of the proper subset of the first set of query rules, and wherein compliance data indicates the query does not comply with the first set of query rules when the query is determined to not comply with at least one of the proper subset of the first set of query rules;
• when the compliance data indicates the query complies with the first set of query rules:
• determine a query result for the query, wherein the query result is determined based on execution of the query against a database system that stores the first data;
• and
• transmit the query result to the requesting entity;
• when the compliance data indicates the query does not comply with the first set of query rules:
• forego transmission of the query result to the requesting entity.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprises:

• at least one memory section that stores operational instructions that, when executed by a processing module that includes a processor and a memory, causes the processing module to:
• determine a plurality of sets of query rules for a plurality of data providers, wherein the plurality of sets of query rules includes a first set of query rules for first data received from a first data provider and a second set of query rules for second data received from a second data provider;
• receive a query from a requesting entity;
• determining whether the query involves accesses to data supplied by each one of the plurality of data providers;
• determine the query involves at least one query function that accesses a subset of the first data;
• generate compliance data by determining whether the query complies with the first set of query rules based on determining the query indicates at least one query function that accesses the subset of the first data;
• when the compliance data indicates the query complies with the first set of query rules:
• determine a query result for the query, wherein the query result is determined based on execution of the query against a database system that stores the first data;
• and
• transmit the query result to the requesting entity;
• when the compliance data indicates the query does not comply with the first set of query rules:
• forego transmission of the query result to the requesting entity;
• when the query is determined not to involve accesses to data supplied by all other ones of the plurality of data providers that do not correspond to the first data provider:
• generating the compliance data by determining only whether the query complies with the first set of query rules, and foregoing determination of whether the query complies with all other ones of the plurality of sets of query rules corresponding to the all other ones of the plurality of data providers.
