[WoodyRoundUp]

Hi guys.
I have got a big problem.

Budi,

How do you end up having to present a seminar on a subject you know nothing about?

This link should bring you up to date:

Hi Dimandja.
Thanks for your help.
Well, I was given a list to choose, and all other things are even more strange to me. So, I just choose Federated Database, which I think it should be better.
Do you have any other site? I had the link that you gave me before, and it mostly talks about IBM Federated Database, but not Federated Database in general.
Thanks for your help again.

A Google search on "Federated Database" returns several hits. Until you mentioned it, I did not know of the existence of this interessing type of database - thanks for the tip.

Anyway here are a couple more sites I visited;
