The present invention is directed to a system and method for the assisted
entry of database schema entries. Schema input data is first received
from an associated user and tested for acceptability. When the schema
input data is unacceptable following the testing, the associated user is
then prompted for corrected schema input data. The presence of software
tools required to implement the schema instructions specified by the
schema input data is then tested and a signal is generated when such
required software is absent. A representation of the complete schema is
then generated, including the schema input data, and the associated user
is prompted to confirm the acceptability of the complete schema setup.
The associated user then confirms the acceptability of the complete
schema setup and the schema input data is then communicated, following
user confirmation, to an associated database server for implementation.
