DCOM use remote procedure calls to organize data between processes and computers so that components appear to have the same word size, bit orientation, and address space. DCOM is a direct competitor to CORBA, discussed next.
V. Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA)
CORBA is OMG's open, vendor-independent architecture and infrastructure that computer applications use to work together over networks (CORBA Basics). Using a standard protocol, a CORBA-based program from any vendor, on almost any computer, operating system, programming language, and network, can interoperate with a CORBA-based program from the same or another vendor, on almost any other computer, operating system, programming language, and network.
The core foundation of CORBA is the Object Request Broker (ORB) that provides an interface between requesting objects and receiving objects (CORBA, TechTarget). ORB support in a network of clients and servers on different computers means that a client program can request services from a server program or object without having to understand where the server is in a distributed network or what the interface to the server program looks like. To make requests or return replies between the ORBs, programs use the General Inter-ORB Protocol (GIOP) and, for the Internet, its Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP). IIOP maps GIOP requests and replies to the Internet's Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) layer in each computer.
VI. Functions of a Database Application.
There are no major differences between COM's and CORBA's ability to support functions of a database application. COM is built on a proven desktop component architecture; COM-based applications are robust and perform well; and COM's integration into development languages and tools simplifies application development (Tallman, O. And Kain, 1998). However, extending a desktop architecture to the enterprise can be problematic.
In comparison to COM, CORBA has a more...
Database Differentiation Description of the data models A detailed description of all the tables that a database consists of is referred to as a data dictionary. A data dictionary will contain all the attribute characteristics and names for every table found within a database system. A data dictionary can also be referred to as a metadata repository. This is because it contains information like relationships with other data, meaning, usage, format, and
Database Presentation The objective of this study is to present a new database to be implemented in the clinical setting to increase quality and safety of patient care. The database at focus in this work in writing is that of the Targeted Therapy Database (TTD) in a Cancer unit in a hospital. The work of Mocellin, et al. (2010) relates that the "efficacy of current anticancer treatments is far from satisfactory and

Database Design for Spa/Hotel Booking System The WR (Woodlands Retreat) is a medium sized organization currently intending to build a database system to integrate modern IT (information systems) in its business operation to enhance its dynamic and innovative business operations. Although, the Woodlands Retreat has an IT system, however, the current systems are not capable of keeping book records as well as not capable of managing all data for the company
Database Administrator for Department Store Scenario The department store has expanded in the local region by opening five more bookstores, and the bookstore has launched a series of marketing campaign to increase sales and attract new customers. The objective of this technical report is to develop a plan to create and maintain an enterprise-wide database system that will assist the bookstore to hold the inventory and sales data. The database design will
Database Security The focus of this study is that of database security. Databases and database technology are such that play critical roles in the use of computers whether it be in business, electronic commerce, engineering, medicine, genetics, law, education or other such entities requiring the use of computer technology. A database is quite simply a collection of data that is related such as a database containing customer information, supplier information, employee
