Abstract
A universal data management interface (UDMI) system includes a processing system generates a visual interface through which a user can access, manage, and manipulate data on plural different types of remote databases. The UDMI connects to multiple standard database management systems and to allow multiple users to access, manage, and manipulate data within each of the multiple standard database management systems. The UDMI also allows multiple virtual databases that reside in a single database to be available as a network service.

74. An apparatus comprising:
-
a processing system to execute instructions to; generate a visual interface, for each of multiple sessions with multiple databases, through which said sessions are concurrently operable to access data in said databases; and manage relations among said sessions. - View Dependent Claims (75, 76, 77, 78, 79)

80. An apparatus comprising:
a processing system to execute instructions to make multiple virtual databases available to multiple sessions, the instructions are executable to; store a security table configured to contain security information associated with one or more said sessions independent of a management system for a database that includes the multiple virtual databases; and manipulate the security table to manage the one or more said sessions with the multiple virtual databases independent of the management system. - View Dependent Claims (81, 82, 83, 84, 85)

86. A method comprising:
-
generating a visual interface for individual ones of multiple sessions, in which the individual ones of said multiple sessions are operable to access data in multiple databases, and each said database is independently associated with a management system; storing security information for said multiple sessions in a security file independent of said management systems; and storing an inactivity time associated with the individual ones of said multiple sessions in a session identification file independent of said management systems. - View Dependent Claims (87, 88, 89)

90. One or more computer-readable media storing instructions that are executable by a computer to:
manage access for multiple sessions with one or more databases, each of said databases associated with a management system, to; create a record to store login information associated with the multiple sessions in a session identification table that is external to said management systems; and obtain a location of a particular said database to be accessed, in which the location is stored external to said management systems. - View Dependent Claims (91, 92, 93)
