Method and apparatus for maintaining multi-instance database management systems with hierarchical inheritance and cross-hierarchy overrides

A method and system for providing dynamic run-time object definition in a relational database. A mediating layer is introduced between applications and database objects. This layer mediates access to the physical database objects, such as tables, and allows applications to embed logical instead of physical names. If desired, the mediating layer can be maintained dynamically, as applications are running. The mediating layer preferably can run on a variety of relational databases, overcoming the vendor-specific extensions to SQL that relational database vendors have introduced.
