Abstract
An improved registration datastore comprises a datastore containing the database coupled to a data table object structure to present the data to a registration system in the form of an abstract table of data. The use of a data table structure between the registration system and the datastore provides storage location and format independence as the data table object presents the registration data to a calling object in the form of a data level table, a collection of configuration data items. The improved registration system permits one or more objects to be simultaneously installed into the registration database by different sources. The new registration system utilizes a database versioning and aging mechanism to permit multiple calling objects to operate using a version of the database known to be valid when its operations began.
