An abstraction engine receives requests identifying a source application and a logical identifier and maps the request attributes to a stored procedure. The stored procedure invokes a native database call with respect to a database and returns the response to the abstraction later, which reformats the response to an object having &#x3c;key, value&#x3e; pairs that is independent of the database protocol or organization. Stored procedures may be mapped to various combinations of attributes of requests, which may include attributes such as a user identifier and application version. The stored procedure may return data from a particular database location or perform more complex functions such as filtering functions with using predefined filter criteria and locations or a filtering criteria and/or location derived from the request.

Codeless information service for abstract retrieval of disparate data

In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided to enable wide access to numerous different previously compiled forecast modeling. In some embodiments, a system is provided that enables wide access to forecasting, comprising: a forecast model database that maintains numerous different forecast models that when run produce resulting forecast data relevant to making business decisions; and a forecasting interface system configured to receive multiple different forecast requests for forecast request data, which comprises a forecast model index comprising identifiers of the numerous different predefined forecast models and for each of the numerous different forecast models relevance characteristics, wherein the forecasting interface system selects, for each received forecast request, a forecast model of the numerous different forecast models based on a relationship between the corresponding forecast request data and the relevance characteristics.
