Abstract: A federated database-management system receives an SQL query or other type of data-access request. The federated system's host DBMS parses, rewrites, and optimizes the request into an optimal data-access plan, then determines which portions of the plan require access to data stored on the federated systems' remote databases. The federated host partitions the plan into subplans that each represent instructions of the original data-access request that were directed to a corresponding remote database of the federated DBMS. Each subplan is then transmitted to its corresponding remote database, which directly executes the subplan and returns results to the host. If necessary, a subplan is translated from an original generic access-plan format into a database-specific format required by its corresponding remote database.

Abstract: The present invention provides a molecular marker C42257 for rapidly identifying genetic sex of Marsupenaeus japonicus and applications thereof. The nucleotide sequence of the molecular marker C42257 is shown in SEQ ID NO:1. The nucleotide sequences of the primer pair of molecular marker C42257 used for detection are C42257F: GGGGGACAA ACAGAGACA (SEQ ID NO: 2) and C42257R: ATCGGGGTGGATTTAGAA (SEQ ID NO: 3), respectively. The molecular marker C42257 is not affected by the tissue specificity of M. japonicus and the environment, and the steps are simple and the results are obvious. The genomic DNA of M. japonicus and the primer pair are subjected to PCR reaction and electrophoresis detection. If a target band appears at 183 bp, it is a female M. japonicus. The molecular marker can also promote the establishment of the seedling breeding technology of all-female or high-female-ratio M. japonicus. Therefore, it has a broad application prospect.
