Method and system for capturing and storing multiple versions of data item definitions

摘要

A method, system and computer program product provides the capability to capture and store data object definitions in a database in a less costly and less time-consuming manner than previous techniques. A method of capturing and storing multiple versions of data item definitions in a database comprises generating a first version of information relating to a plurality of data item definitions in the database, and generating a second version of information relating to a plurality of data item definitions in the database by recapturing only information relating to those data item definitions that have changed since the first version was generated.
