Systems, Methods and Program Instructions for Calling a Database Function with a URL

摘要

Systems, methods and program instructions are described for calling a database function with a URL. Many databases have functions, also referred to as logical elements, built into the database that can be called to retrieve data. A web URL can be used to call such a programming function by formatting the URL in a specific manner. After the URL is received, it can be parsed to determine the resource path and parameters, if any exist. The database function specified in the URL is called using the specified parameters, if any exist. The results can be interpreted and an appropriate response can be streamed.
