  • Abstracting business logic into centralized database controls
    Patent number: 8924921
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and products for abstracting business logic into centralized database controls are disclosed herein. In one general embodiment, a method, executed by a computer system, includes identifying data use code in business logic: analyzing the data use code to determine a general data model: and implementing the general data model in the centralized database controls. The general data model is an abstraction embodying the functionality inherent in the data use code. In specific embodiments, identifying data use code in the business logic may be carried out by identifying the data use code in at least one subcomponent of the business logic, such as a user interface code component, a database coding, a table, or a file. The computer system may remove the data use code from the business logic or designate the data use code for removal.
