Generic application persistence database

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions which when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform the method of:

• receiving a request from a user interface to perform an operation of an application, the application associated with a first technical key, the application operation associated with an operation identifier, and the request including a dataset key;
• transmitting a generic application persistency statement having a syntax defined in an application template belonging to a set of predefined application templates, the application template corresponding to the application;
• searching a logical database for a first location having entries corresponding to the first technical key and the operation identifier;
• determining a second technical key based on content stored at the first location;
• searching the logical database for a second location having entries corresponding to the second technical key and the dataset key;
• determining a third technical key based on content stored at the second location;
• and
• accessing one or more locations of the logical database based on at least the third technical key, wherein the contents of the one or more logical database locations correspond to content of the physical database.

A system comprising:

• at least one server connected to an electronic network and having a control processor configured to support operation of a generic application persistence database service;
• a logical database maintained in a data store in communication with the generic application persistence database service via the electronic network;
• one or more client computers connected to the electronic network;
• a database management system in communication with one or more of the client computers via the electronic network, the database management system (DBMS) in communication with a physical database;
• at least one set of four physical database containers, wherein at least three of the four physical database containers include as content one or more technical keys;
• and
• the generic application persistence database service is configured to use the one or more technical keys as an index guide to access data in the DBMS physical database.
