Abstract

A system includes activation of an OData service exposing a parameterized database view, the OData service exposing a Parameter Entity Type and a Result Entity Type, wherein the Parameter Entity Type specifies one or more input parameters of the database view as properties of the Parameter Entity Type, and defines a Parameter Entity Type key formed by each of the one or more input parameters, and wherein the Result Entity Type specifies the one or more input parameters and one or more output of the database view as properties of the Result Entity Type, and defines a Result Entity Type key formed by each of the one or more input parameters and at least one of the one or more output parameters. Also included is reception of an OData request comprising a Uniform Resource Indicator, the Uniform Resource Indicator including the OData service, the Result Entity Type, and a value for each of one or more input parameters of the database view and for at least one of the one or more output parameters of the database view, and execution, in response to the request, of the OData service to return a single entity associated with the values.
