1. An apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to communicate with a computing device and having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising;
generating a visual interface to manage data in a first database controlled by a first database management system (DBMS) and a second database controlled by a second DBMS;
connecting to a selected one of the first database or the second database in response to user instructions;
storing a copy of a table comprising the data stored in the connected database in an external file for management of the table by the user;
containing table relations domains in a table relation file,wherein the table relations domains comprises a set of column pairs, in which a column pair includes a member from an originate table and a member from a conclude table.

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.

13. A computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, in response to execution by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
-
generating a visual interface to manage data in a first database controlled by a first database management system (DBMS) and a second database controlled by a second DBMS; connecting to a selected one of the first database or the second database in response to user instructions; storing a copy of a table comprising the data stored in the connected database in an external file for management of the table by the user; managing relations between the connected database and a table relation file separate from the DBMS for the connected database, in which the table relation file includes a set of column pairs that includes a member from an origin table and a member from a conclude table that are contained in the connected database; and rewriting the table relation file in response to modification of the set of the column pairs. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
