Abstract: A data processing method comprising using an application server computer, establishing a shared multi-tenant system in which tenant data that is associated with tenants is stored together in a real shared data store system; providing to a tenant computing device identifiers that identify virtual objects, wherein each of the virtual objects represents a data entity that is stored in the real shared data store system; receiving a SQL query from the tenant computing device that specifies a data operation on a first virtual object of the virtual objects; rewriting the SQL query by dynamically replacing the first virtual object with an identifier of a function; executing the function and the rewritten query without explicit metadata to generate a result set; sending the result set to the tenant computing device.

Abstract: A system for creation and completion of goal oriented electronic forms creates a graphical image data file which defines: a graphical image of a form for display and printing; a graphical image of tree branches, tree nodes, and conclusions in association with fields of the form; reading and writing links between form fields and data sources and destinations; and links to other forms which, with the original form, comprise a related stack of forms. The system includes a form creation mode and a run time mode. The trees are defined by an application developer using the form creation mode to establish both qualitative and quantitative relationships between the various fields on the forms thereby providing the basis for the goal oriented prompting for the application user using the run time mode.
