System and method for loading commercial web sites

1. A method in a network computing environment for loading data into a database using a browser, the method comprising:

obtaining one or more raw informational items from a data source;

storing said one or more raw information items in a temporary storage table;

creating a derived version of said raw informational items;

writing said derived version into a production data store;

storing said derived version in a validation table; and

validating said derived version against said raw informational items based on a comparison of said temporary storage and validation tables.

2. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein said creation of derived version includes parsing said raw informational items.

3. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein said production data store is one that is accessible to end users of the network.

4. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein said data source exists at a vendor's location.

5. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein said production data store includes at least one of a product table, a category table, a content table, a style table, a discount table, and a pricing table.

6. A computer readable medium having computer executable instructions for performing the method of claim 1 .

7. A computer system having a processor, a memory and an operating environment, the computer system operable to perform the method of claim 1 .

8. A network computing environment for loading data into a database using a browser, the computing environment comprising:

a transferring component which transfers one or more raw informational items from a vendor's data source to an e-Store location, wherein said transferring component stores said one or more raw informational items in a temporary storage table;

a deriving component for creating a derived version of said one or more informational items stored in said temporary storage table; and

a validation component for creating a validation table from said derived version and comparing said validation table to said temporary storage table.

9. The computing environment as recited in claim 8 , further comprising a parsing component for parsing said one or more informational items into a plurality of data storage tables representing attributes of said one or more informational items.

10. The computing environment as recited in claim 9 , wherein said storage tables comprise at least one of a production table, a category table, a content table, a style table, a discount table and a pricing table.

11. A method in a network computing environment for loading raw vendor data to an e-Store location, the method comprising:

transferring the vendor data from a vendor's location to an e-Store location;

storing said data in a temporary storage table;

creating a derived version of said raw vendor data;

loading said derived version into one or more operational data tables of the e-Store location;

extracting data from said operational database tables to create a validation table; and

comparing said temporary storage table with said validation table.

12. The method as recited in claim 11 , further comprising parsing said data prior to creating said derived version.

13. The method as recited in claim 11 , wherein said temporary storage and said validation tables are de-normalized tables.

14. The method as recited in claim 11 , wherein said operational database tables includes at least one of a product table, a category table, a content table, a style table, a discount table, and a pricing table.

15. A computer readable medium having computer executable instructions for performing the method of claim 14 .

16. A computer system having a processor, a memory and an operating environment, the computer system operable to perform the method of claim 14 .
