    摘要: The present invention provides a merchant system for online shopping and merchandising. The merchant system architecture provides great flexibility for a merchant to adapt the merchant system to their existing business practices, promotions and databases. The merchant system includes a dynamic page generator, a configurable order processing module and a database module capable of retrieving data from the database without regard to its schema. The present invention enables merchants to create electronic orders which are easily adaptable for different sales situations. The order processing module includes multiple configurable stages to process a merchant's electronic orders. The merchant system is capable of generating pages dynamically using templates having embedded directives. The database module and the dynamic page generator allow merchants to modify their databases and page displays without having to reengineer the merchant system.

    摘要: An application, such as an online merchant system, provides a name for a query stored in a database. The database accesses the query using the name provided by the application. The database next executes the query to produce an access object having the query results. The application then processes the access object to obtain a selected result. Storing queries in the database provides a level of indirection and flexibility enabling applications to access databases without prior knowledge of their schemas. Thus, applications can access data in a wide variety of existing databases having different schemas and data sublanguages. Modification of the database schema does not require corresponding modification or recompilation of the application accessing the database.
