Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for accessing a database. A request attribute module constructs a request attribute list from an attribute database for a data value name received in a request block, wherein the request block is an inquiry to a target database and is not formatted as a query statement for the target database. The request attribute list associates the data value name with an attribute name and a schema name. A schema name module adds the schema name from the request attribute list to a schema names list in response to the schema name not being included in the schema names list. An attribute name module adds the attribute name from the request attribute list to an attribute names list in response to the attribute name not being included in the attribute names list. A query module builds a query statement directed to the target database from the schema names list and the attribute names list.
