Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for providing security rules to an existing enterprise database system. The disclosed system and computer-implemented method intercepts database connection requests provided by third-party applications and end-users and determines what, if any, security rules to be applied to the request, including masking, scrambling and unmasking the data, as well as whether the requesting user has a need to know the requested data. Accordingly, personally identifiable and other sensitive information is not provided to an unauthorized requesting application and/or end-user.

Abstract: A database network router (DNR) in a database network includes a client access module and a database resource manager that communicate with each other using a common software interface. The client access module communicates with clients including application servers and external database servers; and the database resource manager communicates with the database servers. The DNR also includes a protocol manager for handling multiple database protocols. The database network router also includes local data cache storage to store commonly used data objects, results of parsed query statement, non-optimized query statements, and optimized alternatives and assigns a priority to each client on log-in. The DNR provides a method for connections pooling, a method for balancing the load in a database networks and a method for synchronizing the data stored in cache memory with the database network and method for synchronizing the data stored in cache memory with the database to insure data reliability.
