METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING DYNAMIC RUN-TIME OBJECT DEFINITION IN A RELATIONAL DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2000079429

Kind Code:

A9

Abstract:

A method and system for providing dynamic run-time object definition in a relational database. A mediating layer is introduced between applications (100) and database objects. This layer mediates access to the physical database objects, such as tables (1500), and allows applications to embed logical instead of physical names. If desired, the mediating layer can be maintained dynamically, as applications are running. The mediating layer preferably can run on a variety of relational databases, overcoming the vendor-specific extensions to SQL that relational databases vendors have introduced.
