Automated script generation to update databases

An automated script generation method to update databases in a cellular system is disclosed. Using an update application program, a user inputs a field of a cellular site information database that is to be modified. An update skeleton script is generated including all of the line commands necessary to update the field. The skeleton script is a file containing line commands to be executed. The skeleton script does not include device values or field values. An input file is generated by the user including the device that is to be changed and what the value of the identified field is to be changed to. The skeleton script is populated with the data from the input file to create a finalized script. The finalized script is run by a command handler application program to update the database.
