US 2026/0037488 A1 · OBJECT REFERENCE STRUCTURE GENERATION FOR DATA PURGING

Abstract

Systems and methods described herein relate to the automated generation of object reference structures for data purging processes. A primary query is executed in a database to identify first data objects with reference relationships to a root data object. Secondary queries are executed in the database to identify additional data objects with reference relationships to the first data objects or to other additional data objects identified in a previous one of the secondary queries. An object reference structure is generated based on the reference relationships among the root data object, the first data objects, and the additional data objects. The graphical representation is presented via a user interface. A purge instruction can be received with respect to at least part of the object reference structure. Execution of a data purge is triggered to purge data from the database according to the purge instruction.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

one or more hardware processors;
and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more hardware processors, cause the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
identifying a root data object in at least one database;
recursively executing queries to identify, in the at least one database, additional data objects with reference relationships to the root data object or to any other additional data object identified in a previous one of the queries until a predetermined condition is met;
generating an object reference structure based on the reference relationships;
causing presentation of a graphical representation of the object reference structure;
receiving user input comprising a purge instruction associated with at least part of the object reference structure;
and
triggering, based on the user input, execution of a data purge to purge data from the at least one database according to the purge instruction.

A computer-implemented method performed by a computer system comprising a memory and at least one hardware processor, the computer-implemented method comprising:

identifying a root data object in at least one database;
recursively executing queries to identify, in the at least one database, additional data objects with reference relationships to the root data object or to any other additional data object identified in a previous one of the queries until a predetermined condition is met;
generating an object reference structure based on the reference relationships;
causing presentation of a graphical representation of the object reference structure;
receiving user input comprising a purge instruction associated with at least part of the object reference structure;
and
triggering, based on the user input, execution of a data purge to purge data from the at least one database according to the purge instruction.
