Abstract

A method and system for creating and manipulating database files comprises a plurality of database files (19, 23, 50) and an object maintenance module (26). The database files (19, 23, 50) may generate database objects. The object maintenance module (26) may automatically generate a batch execution file (42). The batch execution file (42) may automatically execute the database files (19, 23, 50). In another aspect of the invention, the method and system may comprise a first database environment (22, 24) and a migration module (36). The first database environment (22, 24) may include a first set of database files (19, 23). The migration module (36) may automatically generate a second set of database files (50) from the first set of database files (19, 23). The second set of database files (50) are for use in connection with a second database environment (48). The migration module (36) may transfer the second database files (19, 23) to the second database environment (48).
