ABSTRACT:
A system and method for compensating for functional differences between heterogeneous database management systems, wherein data associated with a client is distributed among the heterogeneous database management systems, is discussed. The system simulates support of multiple pending actions on a single connection in any of the heterogeneous database management systems which does not support multiple pending actions on a single connection. Also, the system: (1) simulates support of cursors declared "with hold" in any of the heterogeneous database management systems which does not support cursors declared "with hold"; (2) simulates support of positioned update actions in any of the heterogeneous database management systems which does not support positioned update actions; (3) simulates support of host variables in any of the heterogeneous database management systems which does not support host variables; and (4) compensates for security log-in procedure differences between the heterogeneous database management systems.
