Decision modeling and analysis for object oriented data access and analysis system

A system for accessing and analyzing data through a central processing unit, said system comprising:

• a non modal user interface for providing a user access to the system;
• a plurality of application analysis objects for creating an analysis network, said analysis network comprising a plurality of user interactively selected nodes and connections wherein the nodes and connections determine the analysis of a selected database,
• said application analysis objects having means for automatically generating the required analysis paths without user interaction responsive to the connection of selected analysis objects in the created analysis network and including decision model analysis means for analyzing said data analysis network in response to said decision model and for generating a new analysis network path in response to the requirement of said decision model;
• a metadata management facility for providing data structure and location information to said application analysis objects;
• a plurality of application graphics objects for interactively manipulating the plurality of analysis objects through the non-modal user interface to create said analysis network;
• and
• a plurality of application data access objects for allowing application object to access required databases and for generating Structured Query Language in response to the analysis network.
