Beside the typical DBMS, what are some of the different data sources that an Internet application may need to access for data? Can a database be an integrator of these different data sources?
Solution
There are two types of data sources:
Database Data Sources
A database is a grouping of tables in a database management system. You must identify databases to the applications that access them. You can distribute databases across a network and involve various servers and database management systems. A database data source identifies the database information that the software needs to connect to a database.
Logic Machine Data Sources
A logic machine is the machine on which batch applications and master business functions run. You must identify logic machines using a data source definition. The data source definition must include the network information about the machine, such as a server name - HP9000, for example.
When mapping logic objects for distributed processing, the software uses the machine data source (distributed processing data source) as the target location for processing logic objects.
