The computer associates each of the one or more generated combinations of values with an incident probability. The computer defines relationships between the one or more generated combinations and the associated incident probabilities. The computer stores the defined relationships into an object representable as a multi-dimensional matrix, whose dimensions correspond to a plurality of database configuration parameters used to generate the combinations of values. The computer traverses the object to identify a path in the matrix. The computer returns the identified path for enabling subsequent interpretation thereof as a rule for passing from a first database configuration, corresponding to the first one of the one or more generated combinations, to a second database configuration, corresponding to the second one of the one or more generated combinations.
