Abstract
A system and a process for providing improved interfacing to a data source storing a plurality of data using query objects are described. The data source includes a schema describing organization of the data within the data source and an interface defined in a query language. A set of data manipulations are encapsulated in the query object and implemented in the query language. Each such encapsulated data manipulation conforms to the schema of the data source. A connection is handled via the interface between the query object and the data source. At least one such encapsulated data manipulation is performed on the data source in response to a request from a client. A resultant set of the data received in response to the at least one such data manipulation from the data source is processed. The resultant set of the data is provided as pre-determined data types to the client.
