USING A DATA DICTIONARY TO DETERMINE AN UPGRADE EDITION OF A RELATIONAL DATABASE TABLE
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for using a data dictionary to automatically determine an upgrade edition of relational database table, the method comprising:
- receiving a data dictionary comprising at least entries corresponding to a first edition of the relational database table;
reading entries of the data dictionary to identify at least one relational database table column of the relational database table that has a revision identifier;
creating at least a first relational database table view corresponding to the first edition of the relational database table using the identified relational database table column; and
creating at least a second relational database table view corresponding to the upgrade edition of the relational database table using the identified relational database table column.

Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product using a data dictionary to automatically determine an upgrade edition of relational database table in a database installation. The editioning method commences upon receiving a data dictionary of the database comprising at least entries corresponding to a first edition of the relational database table, then reading entries of the data dictionary to identify at least one relational database table column of the relational database table that has a revision identifier. The revision identifiers are used to determine a first edition (e.g., a run edition) and a second edition (e.g., an upgrade edition). Then, the method proceeds by creating at least a first relational database table view corresponding to the first edition of the relational database table; and creating at least a second relational database table view corresponding to the upgrade edition of the relational database table using the identified relational database table column.
