    "patent_abstract": "Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for optimizing functions of a database system. A combination load and dump function is recited that transforms a first set of backup data into a set of transformed data, where the first set of backup data is accessed in response to receiving a request to load the first set of backup data to the database. A set of operations is automatically executed and includes loading the database with the set of transformed data and storing the set of transformed data in a second set of backup data. This combination load and dump function removes the need for a subsequent read function to read data previously loaded to a database file in order to perform the dump function.",
    "precision_class": "structural",
    "invention_explanation": "A single function that converts backup data into the needed format, loads it into a database, and saves the resulting data without separate manual steps.",
