Bonjour provides a general method to discover services on a local area network. The software is widely used throughout macOS, and allows users to set up a network without any configuration. As of 2010 it is used to find printers and file-sharing servers. Notable applications using Bonjour include: iTunes to find shared music
PostgreSQL can link to other systems to retrieve data via foreign data wrappers (FDWs). [46] These can take the form of any data source, such as a file system, another relational database management system (RDBMS), or a web service. This means that regular database queries can use these data sources like regular tables, and even join multiple ...
A pool of database connections can be created and then shared among the applications that need to access the database. The connection object obtained from the connection pool is often a wrapper around the actual database connection. The wrapper understands its relationship with the pool, and hides the details of the pool from the application.
In computing, a connection string is a string that specifies information about a data source and the means of connecting to it. It is passed in code to an underlying driver or provider in order to initiate the connection.
The software was designed to scale for a large number of databases, work across low-bandwidth connections, and withstand periods of network outage. It supports MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, IBM Db2, Firebird, Interbase, HSQLDB, H2, Apache Derby, Informix, Greenplum, SQLite, Sybase ASE, and Sybase ASA.
PostgreSQL and some other databases have support for foreign schemas, which is the ability to import schemas from other servers as defined in ISO/IEC 9075-9 (published as part of SQL:2008). This appears like any other schema in the database according to the SQL specification while accessing data stored either in a different database or a ...
In computer networking, a network service is an application running at the network application layer and above, that provides data storage, manipulation, presentation, communication or other capability which is often implemented using a client–server or peer-to-peer architecture based on application layer network protocols. [1] Each service ...
In software engineering, a connection pool is a cache of reusable database connections managed by the client or middleware. It reduces the overhead of opening and closing connections, improving performance and scalability in database applications.
