Abstract: A method of generating and accessing a database table having data stored in a unique structure and syntax is disclosed. A database access library having an access function is created. The access function of the database access library is mapped to the database table. A data object is also created. The data object has a plurality of data attributes. Each data attribute of the data object is mapped to the database table using the access function. Accessing of the data object is independent of the structure and syntax of the database table.

Abstract: In the present invention, a method of programming a task by different programmers for operation by computers is disclosed. The task is divided into a plurality of processes with each process being programmed by a different programmer. A plurality of unique objects is defined for each process. One or more phantom objects are created in a process for use by that process (calling process), wherein upon access by the calling process, the phantom object communicates with the process (called process) having the defined object associated with the phantom object. The defined object is then accessed by the called process and the result is communicated back to the phantom object to the calling process.
