Abstract
A system and method for creating customizable views of a database so that database users may view and update tables in a manner that requires no knowledge of the underlying database schema or of the database commands. The system includes a view database and a view/update utility. The view database includes database tables for associating a relational table with a particular view and for associating one or more fields of the relational table with the view. The view/update utility utilizes the view database in performing the processes of creating, displaying, and updating views.
