  • receiving, using an application program executed from local memory of a computer system, portions of information from a first file;

    generating a database table in a peripheral storage device;

    storing the portions of information in the database table of the peripheral storage device in lieu of storing the information in the local memory of the computer system, wherein the database table and local memory are both accessible to the application program;

    locking the database table, wherein the locking exclusively provides the application program a database accessing technique to the database table;

    processing by the application program the portions of information in the database table using the database accessing technique;

    clearing the database table upon a termination of the application program; and

    unlocking the database table upon the termination of the application program.
