Client/Server Systems
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, and
Management, Fifth Edition, Rob and Coronel

In this chapter, you will learn:
• What client/server computing is
• What the advantages of using client/server
systems are
• How client/server systems evolved
• About client/server systems components and
how they interact
• What effect the client/server system has on the
DBMS
• How client/server systems might be introduced
into an organization
• What factors affect the implementation of
client/server systems

Client/Server Computing
• Computing model for the development of
computerized systems
– Client requests specific service
– Server provides requested service
• Reside on same or different computers

Client/Server Computing (con’t.)
• Key to client server power is where request
processing takes place
• Extent of sharing processing

Forces that Drive Client/Server Trend
• Changing business environment
• Growing need for enterprise data access
• Demand for end-user productivity gains based on
efficient use of data
• Technological advances
• Growing cost/performance advantages

Managerial Expectations of
Client/Server Systems
• Client/Server efficiency functions
– Platform independent development
– Optimized distribution of processing activities
among different platforms
– User friendly and cost effective techniques,
methodologies, and specialized tools
• Observations
– Tool, not end goal
– Not answer to all data management problems
– Has own set of management problems

• Reduced development time and increased
programmer productivity
• Extended system life cycle through scalability
and portability
• Reduced system operational cost
• Change of MIS function from development to enduser support
• Enhanced information deployment

Database Middleware
• Network independence
– Front-end application accesses data without
regard to network protocols
• Database server independence
– Generic SQL to access different database servers
– Isolates programmer from SQL dialect differences
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 5th Edition, Rob & Coronel

Communications Middleware
• Two levels
– Physical level
• Client and server computers
– Logical level
• Client and server processes
• Interprocess communication (ICP) protocols

• Maintenance-oriented coding to analysis, design,
and service
• Data collection to data deployment
• Centralized to distributed style
• Vertical, inflexible to horizontal, flexible
organizational style
• Differences in IS components
