Abstract:
Information warehouse table data is updated through a full outer join between warehouse tables and source tables in response to a single query language command statement of a relational database computer language. The single command statement comprises table mapping instructions for updating the warehouse tables that define matching conditions, delete instructions, archive instructions, and update instructions. The full outer join inserts rows in the warehouse tables for source table data rows that do not have corresponding matching rows in the warehouse table. Data rows in the warehouse tables without corresponding matching source table rows are deleted if a value of a parameter in the warehouse table system is set to delete; updated if the parameter is update; and updated with archive values and a new table row inserted with existing values if the parameter is archive.
