  • Method and system for facilitating execution of a user-inputted message in a client-server database network
    Patent number: 7058632
    Abstract: In a client-server database network having a user-interface layer communicating with a database-interface layer via a middleware communication layer, a method is disclosed for facilitating execution of a user-inputted message. The method includes receiving the user-inputted message from the user-interface layer in the middleware communication layer, and forwarding the received user-inputted message to the database-interface layer based on a predetermined attribute contained in the received user-inputted message. The method further includes executing the forwarded user-inputted message in the database-interface layer based on the predetermined attribute. In this way the involvement of the middleware communication layer in the execution of the user-inputted messages is minimized, thus facilitating the overall execution of the user-inputted messages in the client-server database network.
