A method, system and article of manufacture for generating logical fields for a data abstraction model that abstractly describes physical data in a database is disclosed. A data abstraction model may define one or more dynamic entities used to generate a plurality of logical fields. Each dynamic entity may identify a field template defining a pattern for a group of logical fields. When the dynamic entity is executed, logical fields may be generated by passing parameter values to the template. The definition of a dynamic entity may also include a data request, e.g., a database query, configured to retrieve sets of parameter values for the template. In one embodiment, a dynamic entity may be configured to determine whether a given logical field is already present in the data abstraction model, before attempting to generate that logical field from the template.
A computer-implemented method of generating logical fields for a data abstraction model, comprising:
A computer-readable storage medium containing a program which, when executed by a processor, performs a process for generating logical fields for a data abstraction model, the process comprising;
A system, comprising:
