Abstract
A method and system for managing devices via a database application programming interface. The system receives a request for a database operation, and maps the request to at least one command for a non-database operation. The system may execute the at least one command by making a system call via a device API, or by making a remote procedure call to a device.
Claims23
A method for managing a device, comprising:
- a) receiving a request for a database operation;
- and
- b) mapping the request to at least one command for a non-database operation.
A system comprising:
- an application having at least one command for a non-database operation;
- and
- a database mapper facility adapted to receive a request for a database operation, the database mapper facility further adapted to map the request to the at least one command.
A machine-readable medium storing instructions adapted to be executed by a processor to:
- a) receive a request for a database operation;
- and
- b) map the request to at least one command for a non-database operation.
An apparatus for managing devices, comprising:
- a) means for receiving a database operation request;
- b) means for translating the database operation request to a non-database system call;
- and
- c) means for executing the non-database system call.

A method for managing devices, comprising:
- a) receiving a command for a non-database operation;
- b) mapping the command to at least one request for a database operation;
- c) sending the at least one request through a database driver;
- d) receiving the sent at least one request;
- and
- e) mapping the received at least one request to the command for a non-database operation.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- a database driver;
- a software management tool;
- and
- a database mapper facility;
- wherein the software management tool is adapted to receive a command for a non-database operation, the software management tool further adapted to map the command to at least one request for a database operation, the management tool further adapted to send the at least one request through the database driver, and
- wherein the database mapper facility is adapted to receive the sent at least one request, the database mapper facility further adapted to map the received at least one request to the command for a non-database operation.
