Abstract
A system and method for providing a database for distributing installation software. The database contains data separated into a user interface layer and an installation layer. The database has a hierarchical status and is associated with a location. Additional databases having their own respective data may be involved. An additional database will be identifiable by a hierarchical status. The hierarchical status of the database is superior to the hierarchical status of the additional database, so that the database is read before the additional database and the database indexes the additional database.

18. An installation database system comprising:
-
a first database for distributing installation software, wherein the first database contains data separated into a first user interface layer and a first installation information layer, the first database being identifiable by a first hierarchical status, and the first database being associated with a first location; at least one second database containing other data separated into a respective second user interface layer and a respective second installation information layer, the at least one second database identifiable by a respective second hierarchical status, wherein the first hierarchical status is superior to the respective second hierarchical status so that the first database is read before the respective second database, the at least one second database being associated with the first location; a third database for distributing installation software, wherein the third database contains data separated into a third user interface layer and a third installation information layer, the third database being identifiable by a third hierarchical status, and the third database being associated with a second location; at least one fourth database containing other data separated into a respective fourth user interface layer and a respective fourth installation information layer, the at least one fourth database identifiable by a respective fourth hierarchical status, wherein the third hierarchical status is superior to the respective fourth hierarchical status so that the third database is read before the respective fourth database, the at least one fourth database being associated with the second location; wherein the first hierarchical status is superior to the respective second hierarchical status so that the first database associated with the first hierarchical status is read before the at least one second database associated with the respective second hierarchical status, and the first database indexes the at least one second database, and the third hierarchical status is superior to the respective fourth hierarchical status so that the third database associated with the third hierarchical status is read before the at least one fourth database associated with the respective fourth hierarchical status, and the third database indexes the at least one fourth database. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
