Structured query language (SQL) query via common object request broker architecture (CORBA) interface

An apparatus for querying a service manager in a telecommunications network, the apparatus comprising:

• a processor that runs a thread comprising a common object request broker architecture
• (CORBA) request that includes a structured query language (SQL) string, and
• a memory that stores an operating system for the apparatus,
• wherein the apparatus forwards the request to the service manager,
• wherein the apparatus iteratively receives information that matches at least one parameter of the SQL string,
• wherein the thread further comprises a timeout module that waits for a response from the service manager for a predetermined period of time after the request is forwarded, and
• wherein the timeout module stops the waiting when no response is received from the service manager during the predetermined period of time.

A system for querying a service manager in a telecommunications network and implemented on at least one processor having a storage, the system comprising:

• a client that runs a thread comprising a common object request broker architecture (CORBA) request that includes a structured query language (SQL) string;
• and
• a service manager that receives the request from the client,
• wherein the client iteratively receives information that matches at least one parameter of the SQL string,
• wherein the thread further comprises a timeout module that waits for a response from the service manager for a predetermined period of time after the request is forwarded, and
• wherein the timeout module stops the waiting when no response is received from the service manager during the predetermined period of time.

A computer readable storage medium for storing a computer program, recorded on the computer readable storage medium, that queries a service manager, the computer readable storage medium comprising:

• a thread running code segment, recorded on the computer readable storage medium, that runs a thread comprising a common object request broker architecture (CORBA) request that includes a structured query language (SQL) string;
• a request forwarding code segment, recorded on the computer readable storage medium, that forwards the request to the service manager;
• an information receiving code segment, recorded on the computer readable storage medium, that iteratively receives information that matches at least one parameter of the SQL string;
• a response waiting code segment, recorded on the computer readable storage medium, that waits for a response from the service manager for a predetermined period of time;
• and
• a wait stopping code segment, recorded on the computer readable storage medium, that stops the waiting when no response is received from the service manager during the predetermined period of time.
