ABSTRACT:
A method computer program product, and system for a reorienting categorization table is provided. A control interface is used to select the hierarchy of categorization levels for a categorization table into a quantity of data records. Once the user selects the desired hierarchy, the categorization table will reorient itself into the chosen categorization level hierarchy with the records in their appropriate locations. This allows more flexibility and a more efficient mechanism for putting the data into a desired organization. The user may reorient the categorization table as desired using the control interface. This invention finds particular usefulness in a database browser wherein the database is queried for potential records according to both a desired categorization level hierarchy and constraints on the potential categorization level values within one or more of the categorization levels. In effect, this filters the records so that a selection categorization table (capable of reorientation) is created with a manageable number of pertinent and relevant data records indicated therein from the results of the query. From there, records are selected to be placed in a retrieval categorization table (also capable of reorientation). Record references may be switched back and forth between the selection categorization table and the retrieval categorization table until a final set of references indicating desired records is attained. The references for the final set of records is used to make the actual record retrieval for processing each of the entire records or a portion thereof.
