Abstract :
Virtual database (VDB) technology makes external data behave as an extension of an enterprise´s relational database (RDBMS) system. VDB technology enables the rapid deployment of applications with at least one of the following characteristics: large numbers of data sources; data sources that are autonomous (i.e. there is no centralized control); or data sources that can have a mixture of structured and unstructured data. The World Wide Web and most intranets have all of these characteristics and can thus benefit from VDB technology
