Distributed databases
Hardware independence
Hardware independence
This refers to the ability to query and update information regardless of the hardware platform on which the data resides. A single
query from a PC might retrieve information from an IBM 3090, a local database on the PC, and an HP-9000 in a single transaction. Of
course, a Net8 implementation does not care what type of processor is included in the network.
Hardware Independence
Hardware independence refers to the ability to query and update information regardless of the hardware platform on which the data
resides. For example, a single query initiated on a PC might retrieve information from an IMS on a mainframe, a Lotus database on a
PC, and an Oracle database on a midrange host.
