A method, system, apparatus, and article of manufacture is configured to merge hierarchies in a computer system. A relational database management system (RDBMS) stores information in the computer system. As part of a process and framework, a series of business rules and process workflows that manage data (that is hierarchical in nature) that resides in one or more RDBMS tables are maintained. A first and second hierarchy table are obtained/defined. A placeholder column that will contain mapping information may be defined with the database schema. User input is accepted that identifies data in the second table that maps to data in the first table. Based on the user input, the data in the second table is mapped to the data in the first table. The mapping is utilized to create a merged hierarchy in RDBMS. |
