A table dispenser provides one or more table objects for accessing one or more datastores containing configuration information in a computer system, responsive to a request for a table from a caller. The table objects combine to present a location-independent and format-independent table of configuration information to the caller. To access one or more datastores, a caller creates a table system by passing input parameters to a table dispenser. The table dispenser references a wiring database to determine an appropriate combination of table object dispensers needed to create necessary table objects and return the desired table to the caller. The table dispenser and table object dispensers may operate recursively to provide multiple configurations of table systems. The wiring database supports database-wide and file-wide wiring relationships to provide general wiring instructions to the table dispenser.
