VIRTUALIZATION OF CONFIGURATION DATA

Abstract:

A method may include receiving a selection of a template defining a manner in which data is stored in one or more database tables operated upon by a software application while the software application performs a function. The selected template may be stored in a first database table. Customizations applied to the selected template are stored in a second database table. In response to the software application performing the function, a virtual customizing table may be generated to include a database view having the selected template from the first database table and the customizations from the second database table. The software application may perform the function based on the virtual customization table, which is not persisted at a database but is generated as needed. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.
