A method of and system for providing one or more third-party program(s) the ability to access and cache the data of an existing software application that does not support standard database protocols. The invention employs a database shaping application for generating a rule set during a training sequence. The database shaping application monitors requests for data from third party programs and, according to the rule set, accesses the requested data from one or more existing host applications and translates the accessed data into a standard database protocol format, thereby emulating a database of the existing host application(s). |
