DOCUMENT-BASED DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A method for managing data stored in a relational database involves developing a hierarchical model of a business schema. The model is then translated into hierarchical database tables for the database. The database tables mode l the business schema. Documents, including data controls having fields into which data is to be entered, are created using the hierarchy of the database tables. The data controls are live-linked to the database tables so that data entered into the fields automatically populates the database tables.
