US Patent:
5506984, Apr 9, 1996
Filed:
Jun 30, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/086441
Inventors:
James S. Miller - Arlington MA
Assignee:
Digital Equipment Corporation - Maynard MA
International Classification:
G06F 1730
US Classification:
395600
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for virtual data integration in a database management system, specifically for providing multidatabase query and retrieval capability, where queries are generated at a user interface and passed to one of a plurality of databases. An organization engine (OE) is coupled to the user interface and, via an organization engine/database interface for each database, to the databases. The organization engine comprises a software module that passes a MakeCallBack routine along with the user query to the OE/database interface. The query is passed on to the database. If the queried data is not found at the queried database, but rather a reference to another database is found there, then that reference is passed back with a CallBack routine to the OE. The query is then redirected to the referenced database, and repeats the procedure until the sought data is actually located. The CallBack routine provides the OE with information for updating the information relating to this query, so that the next time the query is made, it is automatically routed to the correct database, i. e.
