ABSTRACT:
A data access system wherein users specify questions to be asked of a data source independent of the actual storage mechanism for the data source. Queries are stored in the relational structures of a meta dictionary using a common query definition. From the common query definition, the system parses the user question, selects a target language determined by the actual storage mechanism of the data, and generates the language syntax for the target language to obtain the answer to the query. The target language may be any well-defined syntax used for accessing data. Because of the language independence, the source of the data may be a relational database, flat file or other data structure that has an access language.
