ABSTRACT:
In various embodiments, an appliance may be used to implement various functions. In some embodiments, an appliance may be used with a DBMS server. The appliance may generate a request, and the DBMS server may generate a result. The appliance may transform the result to a different format for return to a requestor corresponding to the request. In still other embodiments, the appliance may be used with a computer system configured to execute other backend applications such as content management systems, filesystems, etc. In other embodiments, the appliance may receive first output data from a first server of a plurality of servers that is to be supplied as first input data to a second server of the plurality of servers. The appliance may be configured to transform the first output data to a first markup language format and to transform the first markup language format to the second format.
