12/940986

Inventors:

Eric Jacobson - San Jose CA, US
Les Thomas - Los Gatos CA, US
Gang Zhang - Fremont CA, US

Assignee:

Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707793

Abstract:

Methods, program products, and systems implementing integrated repository of structured and unstructured data are disclosed. An integrated environment is provided for accessing, structured data (e. g. , data of a relational database) and unstructured data (e. g. , data stored in a text or binary file), including creating, managing, modifying, and searching the structured data and unstructured data. The integrated environment can include an integrated user interface, a set of commands and application programming interface (API), and storage for a relational database and a document repository. The integrated environment can include a database abstraction layer that allows database operations on both the structured data and the unstructured data.

Assignee:

Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707795, 707961, 715243

Abstract:

Methods, program products, and systems implementing dynamic data association are described. Relations between a first data item and a second data item can be created in an ad hoc manner. The first data item can include a row of data in a table in a relational database. The second data item can include a row of data in the same table, in another table in the relational database, or a document outside the relational database. Configurable metadata can be created to link the first data item and the second data item. The link can be directional. The configurable metadata can include data specified by a user. The configurable metadata can be stored in one or more system tables in the relational database. The configurable metadata can be specific to the user, or to a work group of the user. The configurable metadata can change when the first data item or the second data item is modified.

Abstract:

An interactive database object representation may be created based on configuration instructions. The interactive database object representation may include a plurality of graphical elements that are each associated with a respective database object field. Each of the database object fields may be associated with a database object definition within a database. The interactive database object representation may be published to a storage medium for transmission upon request to a client machine via a network. The interactive database object representation may facilitate the display and editing of data associated with an instance of the database object.

G06F 3/0484

Abstract:

An interactive database object representation is created based on a source database object representation. The source database object representation may include a first plurality of graphical elements that are each associated with a respective database object field. The interactive database object representation may include a second plurality of graphical elements that are each associated with a respective database object field. Each of the database object fields may be associated with a database object definition within a database.

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

Abstract:

Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for overriding component attributes in a web application builder. A database system maintains a multi-tenant database associated with a number of users and a number of web application components each with one or more component attributes. The system displays a user interface for the web application builder framework with a layout including a number of web application components, and processes decorator rules for rendering the components. The system also processes decorator override rules for some attributes of the components. The system displays the prepared user interface with decorator rules and overrides, and, based on a user request to access one or more attributes of the components, presents those attributes for display with the decorator override rules applied.
