It is inefficient for an application to create, use, and close a database connection whenever it needs to update a database. Connection pooling is a technique designed to alleviate this problem. A pool of database connections can be created and then shared among the applications that need to access the database. The connection object obtained ...
Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA) is a database interoperability standard from The Open Group. DRDA describes the architecture for distributed relational databases. It defines the rules for accessing the distributed data, but it does not provide the actual application programming interfaces (APIs) to perform the access .

Remote database access (RDA) is a protocol standard for database access produced in 1993 by the International Organization for Standardization ().Despite early efforts to develop proof of concept implementations of RDA for major commercial relational database management systems (RDBMSs) (including Oracle, Rdb, NonStop SQL and Teradata), [1] this standard has not found commercial support from ...
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. Whilst commonly used for a database connection, the data source could also be a spreadsheet or text file.
An OLE DB-ODBC bridge consists of an OLE DB Provider which uses the services of an ODBC driver to connect to a target database. This provider translates OLE DB method calls into ODBC function calls. Programmers usually use such a bridge when a given database lacks an OLE DB provider, but is accessible through an ODBC driver.
PostgreSQL includes built-in support for regular B-tree and hash table indexes, and four index access methods: generalized search trees , generalized inverted indexes (GIN), Space-Partitioned GiST (SP-GiST) [42] and Block Range Indexes (BRIN). In addition, user-defined index methods can be created, although this is quite an involved process.
Multi-master replication is a method of database replication which allows data to be stored by a group of computers, and updated by any member of the group. All ...
