Abstract
Connectivity products are finally available to provide the "highways" between
computers containing data.
IBM has provided strong validation of the concept with their "Information
Warehouse".
DBMS vendors are providing gateways into their products,
and SQL is being retrofitted on many older DBMSs to make it easier to
access data from standard 4GL products and application development systems.
The next step needed for data integration is to provide
(1) a common data dictionary with a conceptual schema across the data to
mask the many differences that occur when databases are developed
independently and
(2) a server than can access and integrate the databases using information from the
data dictionary.
In this article, we discuss InterViso, one of the first commercial
federated database products.
InterViso is based on Mermaid,
which was developed at SDC and Unisys.
It provides a value added layer above connectivity to handle views
across databases, schema translation,
and transaction management.
