Subject Re: [Firebird-general] Is there a base for a thesis in firebird?
Author Dalton Calford
Hi Ruben


Datahub does not encapsulate the business rules within the
database/schema itself.

You cannot have a stored procedure that spans multiple databases.
You cannot have the database verify it's own consistancy when the
elements of the database (read servers and files) can be periodically
online and offline.

Datahub is a standard middleware utility, not what I was describing.

best regards

Dalton
