Pre-formatted column-level caching to improve client performance

Abstract

Methods, articles of manufacture, and systems for improving the performance of a client accessing data from a database are provided. For some embodiments, the client may access and manipulate data from a data source. The client may obtain information regarding one or more distinct date values in a first format stored in a field of a data source to be queried by the client. Furthermore, the client may, based on the information, generate one or more data objects, each containing one of the distinct data values and a corresponding pre-formatted instance of the distinct data value in a second format, wherein the second format is an output format in which to display data values to a user; wherein the corresponding pre-formatted Instance of the distinct values are output for display instead of the respective distinct data value in each instance of a query result returning the respective distinct data value.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
