Remote Database Access
open-in-new
<p>Remote database access (RDA) is a protocol standard for <a href="/facts/Database/VYcpkevb">database</a> access produced in 1993 by the International Organization for Standardization (<a href="/facts/ISO/IacYR7Yg">ISO</a>). Despite early efforts to develop proof of concept implementations of RDA for major commercial <a href="/facts/RDBMS/pEKGmJLy">relational database management systems</a> (RDBMSs) (including <a href="/facts/Oracle_RDBMS/FHv5g732">Oracle</a>, <a href="/facts/Oracle_Rdb/C6EXRgAd">Rdb</a>, <a href="/facts/NonStop_SQL/JSIk6m3c">NonStop SQL</a> and <a href="/facts/Teradata/sarnALYT">Teradata</a>), this standard has not found commercial support from database vendors. The standard has since been withdrawn, and replaced by ISO/IEC 9579:1999 - <i>Information technology -- Remote Database Access for SQL</i>, which has also been withdrawn, and replaced by ISO/IEC 9579:2000 <i>Information technology -- Remote database access for SQL with security enhancement</i>. </p>
