Abstract:
1. A method executed on a computer system for creating a child object in a data object hierarchy of a database, comprising: receiving at a database application of the computer system a selection from a first user interface display to create a new child object within the data object hierarchy; providing by the database application of the computer system a second user interface display allowing a user to input selections for the new child object; receiving at the database application of the computer system a selection from the second user interface display for a parent object, wherein the parent object comprises an object from which the child object will depend within the data object hierarchy; receiving at the database application of the computer system a selection from the second user interface display for one or more attributes of the child object; providing by the database application of the computer system a third user interface display allowing the user to input selection of a new source data history object associated with the new child object, wherein the new source data history object comprises metadata about a history of the data in the new child object; receiving at the database application of the computer system a selection from the third user interface display for one or more attributes of the new source data history object associated with the new child object; providing by the database application of the computer system a fourth user interface display allowing the user to input selection of a new source data history integration object associated with the new child object, wherein the new source data history integration object comprises metadata linking the data in the new child object to one or more other databases; receiving at the database application of the computer system a selection from the third user interface display for one or more attributes of the new source data history integration object associated with the new child object; automatically creating by the database application of the computer system the new child object, the new source data history object, and the new source data history integration object; and storing by the database application of the computer system the new child object in the data object hierarchy of the database.
