Mapping of data source schema data types relating a server side database description into a set of OLE DB data types is rendered subject to user modification by provision of a dual Schema File at a client side terminal which contains an original copy and a modifiable copy of the data source schema. Selected contents of the modifiable Schema File are then displayed in a split window format, including one window which provides a tree view of the schema structure and an adjacent window which displays a set of values related to a selected element of the tree view. Selected values are then subject to modification via user point and click and data entry operations.

OLE DB data access system with schema modification features

The method of the present invention is useful in managing scripts easily, by providing a console interface that enables you to list registered scripts and check their status. The program executes a method for allowing scripts or programs to monitor and manage registered scripts. Such a script or program can provide a list of registered scripts based on specific criteria and awaken sleeping scripts.

Servicing method for script monitor COM object

The method of the present invention is useful in managing scripts easily, by providing a scriptable interface that allows the registering and managing of scripts. The program executes a method for registering a script with a ScriptUtility, and involves a method for utilizing the steps of waiting on events, sleeping without displaying a message, and setting a time interval and periodically receiving OnInterval events.

Method for managing user scripts utilizing a component object model object (COM)

Mapping of data source schema data types relating a server side database description into a set of OLE DB data types is rendered subject to user modification by provision of a dual Schema File at a client side terminal which contains an original unmodifiable copy and a modifiable working copy of the data source schema. When the server side database description is altered, user modifications to the modifiable copy are preserved as much as possible by performing a matching process on the client side in the course of generating new unmodifiable and modifiable schema files which comprise a new dual Schema File.
