Abstract
A system and method for a reentrant database object wizard is provided. The system provides the ability to compare a currently generated dataset to the objects of the underlying database. Columns and tables that are not common between both the dataset and the database are visually displayed for the user to make a decision on inclusion or exclusion. The system includes a comparison that provides comparison information based upon a comparison of a dataset to an associated database and a display component that displays the comparison information. The system further includes an input component which provides information associated with the user's decision on inclusion and/or exclusion of column(s) and/or table(s) to the system. The system is reentrant thus providing long-term value to the developer over the application development cycle.
