ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are provided for storing a dataset having a hierarchical data structure in a database. In one implementation, a data processing system includes a data dictionary for storing data that describes predefined hierarchical data structures, wherein each data structure includes a plurality of data fields that have a unique field name and at least one field attribute. The data processing system also includes a volatile storage that stores a dataset having a unique dataset name. The dataset is an instance of one of the predetermined hierarchical data structures. A serializer is provided that converts the dataset into a data string. An access key is generated for the data string. Moreover, the data processing system includes a non-volatile storage that stores a database table and database export means for storing the string in the database table using the access key that is assigned to the dataset name.
