Abstract

Methods and systems for providing data, generated by a computer application, to a database.

Claims

1. A method for providing data, generated by a computer application, to a database, the method comprising the steps of:

encoding the data according to predetermined encoding rules;

developing a mapping from the encoded data to a database schema; and

storing the data in the database according to the database schema;

wherein the encoding of the data, the developing of the mapping and the storing of the data in the database are performed by a computer system.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of encoding the data comprises a step of rendering the encoded data according to a network transmission protocol.

3. The method of claim 2 further comprising the step of:

transmitting the encoded data over a network;

wherein the data is stored after transmission.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of encoding the data comprises the step of utilizing a generalized markup language in the encoding of the data.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein the generalized markup language is XML.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of obtaining the data is from a network transmission event.

7. A system for storing data generated by a computer application, the system comprising:

at least one processor;

at least one computer usable medium having computer readable code embodied therein, said computer readable code be capable of causing said at least one processor to;

encode the data according to predetermined encoding rules;

develop a mapping from said encoded data to a database schema; and

store the data in a database according to said database schema.

8. The system of claim 7 further comprising:

a computer readable memory for storing data, said computer readable memory comprising;

a data structure stored in said computer readable memory, said data structure including information resident in the database.

9. The system of claim 7 wherein said computer readable code is further capable of causing said at least one processor to:

transmit said encoded data over a network utilizing a network transmission protocol;

wherein the data is stored after transmission.

10. The system of claim 7 wherein said computer readable code, in causing said at least one processor to encode the data, is capable of causing said at least one processor to utilize a generalized markup language in encoding the data.

11. The system of claim 10 wherein the generalized markup language is XML.

12. The system of claim 7 wherein the data is data related to a network transmission event.

13. A computer program product comprising:

a computer usable medium having computer readable code embodied therein, said computer readable code be capable of causing a computer system to;

encode data according to predetermined encoding rules;

develop a mapping from said encoded data to a database schema; and

store the data in the database according to said database schema.

14. The computer program product of claim 13 wherein said computer readable code is further capable of causing said computer system to:

transmit said encoded data over a network utilizing a network transmission protocol;

wherein the data is stored after transmission.

15. The computer program product of claim 13 wherein said computer readable code, in causing said computer system to encode the data, is capable of causing said computer system to utilize a generalized markup language in encoding the data.

16. The computer program product of claim 13 wherein said generalized markup language is XML.

17. The computer program product of claim 13 wherein the data is data related to a network transmission event.
