  • Publication number: 20130046787
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to interface an application to a database are disclosed. An example method includes determining a query used by an application that is to communicate with a database via a database driver. The query is tested on the database via the database driver. Such testing includes storing a query template when a received result of the query matches an expected result of the query. A database access framework is generated to interface between the application and the database driver based on the stored query template.
