Abstract
Disclosed is a method, system, program, and data structure for transforming data in an input table in a database in a server in communication with a client. A transform command is received from the client indicating an input data table name in the database and at least one rule indicating at least one cell in the input table to transform and a transform operation to perform with respect to the at least one cell.
