Providing economical interconnectivity between application programs and database content is obviated by the described database management system interface. The system of the invention includes at least one database server that serves disparate database clients through an object-oriented interface. This object-oriented interface has classes including a database access class and methods within the database access class to implement the interface, define other methods, and create and manage database connections. There is at least one object within the database access class that retrieves database properties, and creates an object from the contained properties needed to establish a connection to the database. The class also contains a connection manager method to instantiate the interface, create a connection to the database, and thereafter call methods within the database access class to access database content, execute database queries on the database content, and disconnect from database content. |
