Codes table framework design in an E-commerce architecture

A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for maintaining application consistency comprising:

• (a) a code segment that provides at least one table comprising a plurality of codes and an associated plurality of text phrases, wherein the table is stored on a local storage medium within an e-commerce computer architecture;
• (b) a code segment that accesses the table on the local storage medium within the e-commerce computer architecture;
• (c) a code segment that retrieves one of the text phrases by selecting a corresponding one of the codes of the table;
• (d) a code segment that allows modification of the text phrases associated with each of the codes of the table;
• and
• (e) a code segment that executes a plurality of services including retrieving a single one of the text phrases, retrieving all of the text phrases in response to a single command, updating a single code and text phrase combination, updating all of the code and text phrase combinations, naming the table, adding a new code and text phrase combination, removing one of the code and text phrase combinations, and adding another table.

A system for maintaining application consistency, comprising:

• (a) logic that provides at least one table comprising a plurality of codes and an associated plurality of text phrases, wherein the table is stored on a local storage medium within an e-commerce computer architecture;
• (b) logic that accesses the table on the local storage medium within the e-commerce computer architecture;
• (c) logic that retrieves one of the text phrases by selecting a corresponding one of the codes of the table;
• (d) logic that allows modification of the text phrases associated with each of the codes of the table;
• and
• (e) logic that executes a plurality of services including retrieving a single one of the text phrases, retrieving all of the text phrases in response to a single command, updating a single code and text phrase combination, updating all of the code and text phrase combinations, naming the table, adding a new code and text phrase combination, removing one of the code and text phrase combinations, and adding another table.
