ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a method of storing, retrieving, and modifying data in a database by creating data records in a user-definable language representation, where each data record has an identifier, where each data record includes data fields and attribute fields, where each data field and attribute field is identified by a name, and where the name does not have to be used by another user; storing each data field and attribute field on a separate line in a data item table along with the data record identifier, the field name or attribute name, and a language representation identifier; retrieving the data record, data field or attribute field in the language representation used to store the same; and modifying, adding, or deleting the data record, the data field, or the attribute field using a user-definable language representation, where the language representation may be different from the language representation used to store the item.
