</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Its not about storing the whole file into the database.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I would have a Table representing the parameteres required to construct a rule.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">For example.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Tables:</FONT>
</P>
<P><B><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">RuleSetTable:</FONT></B>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Ruleset_id</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Ruleset_name</FONT>
</P>
<P><B><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">RuleTable:</FONT></B>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Rule_id</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Rule_name</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Rule_saliance</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Rule_condition</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Rule_consequence</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Ruleset_id</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Now while loading the rules the application basically should read from the DB, and construct the rules, as everything required to construct the rules is avaliable in the tables.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This requirement had come up because as the rules keep changing quite frequently, we don't want to bring down the application to load a new DRL file.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hope you understood what I want to achieve.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks much,</FONT>
