First Claim
1. A database apparatus comprising:
- a table storage to store a first contents table which includes a plurality of first components which includes a plurality of first contents data rows, and a second contents table which includes a plurality of second components which includes a plurality of second contents data rows, wherein the first contents data rows and the second contents data rows each have a selection reference relationship between the first contents table and the second contents table, and a selection reference condition is described using a selection reference type property;
a display device to display the first contents table on a screen;
a designation device to designate a first contents data row in the first contents table displayed on the screen;
a first selection device configured to select the designated first contents data row;
a selection reference processor configured to query the second contents table under the selection reference condition to find candidates of second contents data rows, wherein the candidates are referenced from the selected first contents data row according to the selection reference relationship;
a second selection device configured to select at least one second contents data row designated by the designation device in the candidates displayed on the screen; and
a combination device configured to generate a combined contents table corresponding to a combined-type product, by combining the first and second contents data rows.

Abstract
A database apparatus stores a first contents table which includes first components including first contents data rows, and a second contents table which includes second components including second contents data rows. The first and second contents data rows each have a selection reference relationship between the first and second contents tables, and a selection reference condition is described using a selection reference type property. A selection reference processor is configured to query the second contents table under the selection reference condition to find candidates of second contents data rows. The candidates are referenced from a selected first contents data row according to the selection reference relationship. At least one second contents data row designated in the candidates displayed on the screen is selected. A combination device is configured to generate a combined contents table corresponding to a combined-type product, by combining the first and second contents data rows.

19. A components selection program stored in a computer readable medium, the program comprising:
-
means for instructing a computer to store a first contents table which includes a plurality of first components which includes a plurality of first contents data rows, and a second contents table which includes a plurality of second components which includes a plurality of second contents data rows, wherein the first contents data rows and the second contents data rows each have a selection reference relationship between the first contents table and the second contents table, and a selection reference condition is described using a selection reference type property;
means for instructing the computer to display the first contents table on a screen;
means for instructing the computer to designate a first contents data row in the first contents table displayed on the screen;
means for instructing the computer to select the designated first contents data row;
means for instructing the computer to query the second contents table under the selection reference condition to find candidates of second contents data rows, wherein the candidates are referenced from the selected first contents data row according to the selection reference relationship;
means for instructing the computer to select at least one second contents data row in the candidates displayed on the screen; and
means for instructing the computer to generate a combined contents table corresponding to a combined- type product, by combining the first and second contents data rows.
