Abstract: A method for managing a database comprises receiving a data record comprising a plurality of interface labels. The method continues by identifying in the data record a particular interface label and an associated label position. The method continues by storing the identified interface label and the associated label position in a first file. The method continues by scanning from the first file a particular interface label. The method continues by determining a mapping label that corresponds to the scanned interface label. The method continues by associating in a second file the determined mapping label with the scanned interface label. The method continues by identifying a test value associated with the determined mapping label. The method concludes by inputting the test value into the data record, wherein the test value is input according to the identified label position.

Abstract: A method for managing a database comprises associating at least one test value with at least one data field. The method continues by inputting the at least one test value into a database wherein the at least one test value is stored in a first position in the database and the first position is associated with a first position identifier. The method continues by retrieving from the database the at least one test value. The method continues by determining the first position identifier associated with the at least one test value. The method concludes by generating a field map comprising the at least one data field associated with the first position identifier.
