Grid enabled relational database middleware (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

The Spitfire project within the European Data Grid Project addresses the need for reliable, high-performance, and interoperable database technology for DataGrid applications. By providing grid-enabled middleware services that decouple clients from relational database management systems (RDBMS), it allows various custom-coded clients and tools to interact with RDBMS over HTTP(S). The project emphasizes ease-of-use, flexibility, and performance, with ongoing developments aimed at enhancing scalability and introducing advanced features such as fine-grained authorization.
