REDUCING PROGRAMMING COMPLEXITY IN CLIENT APPLICATIONS WHEN INTERFACING WITH DATABASE SERVERS OPERATING WITH DIFFERENT PROGRAMMING INTERFACES

摘要

: Reducing programming complexity in client applications when interfacing with database servers operating with corresponding programming interfaces. In one embodiment, a client system merely specifies a procedure of interest to be executed on a database server of interest, and a system forms the specific instructions according to the programming interface requirements of the specific databse server. Thus, the client applications may be implemented independent of the programming interface requirements of the database servers. The client system may also send data indicating the programming environement (e.g., java or Visual Basic) in which applications are supported (in the client system). The application sever may from the instructions consistent with the programming environment as well, thereby further reducing the complexity of implementations in the client aplications.
