1. A method for managing a database, comprising:
- a) associating at least one test value with at least one data field;
b) inputting the at least one test value into a database, wherein;
the at least one test value is stored in a first position in the database; and
the first position is associated with a first position identifier;
c) retrieving from the database the at least one test value;
d) determining the first position identifier associated with the at least one test value; and
e) generating a field map comprising the at least one data field associated with the first position identifier.

Abstract
A method for managing a database comprises associating at least one test value with at least one data field. The method continues by inputting the at least one test value into a database wherein the at least one test value is stored in a first position in the database and the first position is associated with a first position identifier. The method continues by retrieving from the database the at least one test value. The method continues by determining the first position identifier associated with the at least one test value. The method concludes by generating a field map comprising the at least one data field associated with the first position identifier.

8. A system for managing a database, comprising:
-
a processor operable to;
associate at least one test value with at least one data field;
input the at least one test value into a database, wherein;
the at least one test value is stored in a first position in the database; and
the first position is associated with a first position identifier;
retrieve from the database the at least one test value;
determine the first position identifier associated with the at least one test value; and
generate a field map comprising the at least one data field associated with the first position identifier;
and a memory operable to store the field map. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for managing a database, comprising:
-
generating a test file comprising;
a first test value associated with a first data field; and
a second test value associated with a second data field;
generating a first data record in a database, wherein the database is a multi-value database;
inputting the first and second test values into the first data record, wherein;
the first test value is stored in a first position in the database, the first position associated with a first position identifier;
the second test value is stored in a second position in the database, the second position associated with a second position identifier;
retrieving from the database the test file;
locating the first and second test values in the retrieved test file;
determining the first position identifier associated with the first test value;
determining the second position identifier associated with the second test value;
generating a field map comprising;
the first data field associated with the first position identifier; and
the second data field associated with the second position identifier;
and extracting at least one data value from a second data record in the database, the extraction based at least in part on the field map.

16. Logic for managing a database, the logic encoded in computer-readable media and operable when executed to:
-
associate at least one test value with at least one data field;
input the at least one test value into a database, wherein;
the at least one test value is stored in a first position in the database; and
the first position is associated with a first position identifier;
retrieve from the database the at least one test value;
determine the first position identifier associated with the at least one test value; and
generate a field map comprising the at least one data field associated with the first position identifier. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
