Distributed database

} Hello everybody. } } I've got a problem with data distribution - distributed database - over } network. We've got a "star network". Each site is connected with central } site. The problem is that the connection is via magnetic tape. } Could You advice me how to manage transaction execution over such } "network". } } Thank You } } Jan Pernica } -------------------------------------------------------------------------- } E-Mail: aura@dior.ics.muni.cz Address: Jan Pernica } aura@aura.anet.cz Kounicova 67 } BRNO, 602 00 } Czech Rep. } Tel: +42 05 41183506 Huh? I think the question is: how can I update many remote sites with a mag tape as the vehicle for data xfer between them. If so, then use a datetime field or a "transferred" field to tell which records have been sent to the offsite hosts and periodically send all which have not. The system will work regardless of the connection, so is easily upgradable when a real network becomes available. __________________________________________________________________ | Clem Akins Standard Disclaimers Apply | |Reynolds Metals Co, Alloys Plant "Climb High, Cave Deep!" | | Muscle Shoals, Alabama USA cwakins@leia.alloys.rmc.com | |________________________________________________________________|
