Oracle7 Server Distributed Systems Volume I: Distributed Data
CHAPTER 7. Application Development
This chapter describes the special considerations that are necessary if you are designing an application to run in a distributed system. Oracle7 Server Concepts describes how Oracle eliminates much of the need to design applications specifically to work in a distributed environment. The topics covered include:
- factors in distributing an application's data
- object naming considerations
- how to control connections via database links
- factors affecting referential integrity
The Oracle7 Server Application Developer's Guide provides a complete discussion of implementing Oracle7 applications. This chapter provides information specific to development for an Oracle7 distributed environment. Basic replication and the advanced replication option are discussed in Oracle7 Server Distributed Systems, Volume II. See the Trusted Oracle7 Server Administrator's Guide for additional information about designing an application to run in a multilevel distributed system.
