Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a first list of a plurality of database application components used in creating different database applications that are available in a first components store; displaying frameworks for selection within a User Interface (UI); receiving a selection of a first framework for editing from the frameworks that are displayed in the UI that identifies database application components selected for use in a first database application, wherein the database application components comprise: tables; queries; reports; relations; and forms; displaying a control panel including a plurality of selectable tabs that display controls that are used in modifying the first framework, the plurality of selectable tabs being presented in an order such that a selected tab includes functions that are independent of each of the plurality of selectable tabs following the selected tab and functions that are dependent on each of the plurality of selectable tabs preceding the selected tab, wherein the displayed controls includes selectable controls for different types of the database components that the first framework includes, wherein the selectable controls change based on the database application components that are included in a currently selected framework for editing; creating a reference for each of the database application components identified within the first framework to a corresponding database application component within at least one of: the first components store and a second framework that identifies database application components selected for use in a second database application; creating a copy of each of the database application components identified within the first framework that is associated with the first database application to include within the second database application; and creating the second database application using the copy of each of the database application components.
