DRDA Architecture

  • Character Data Representative Architecture: Details, SC09-2190

    This manual includes a CD-ROM, which contains the two CDRA publications in online BOOK format, conversion tables in binary form, mapping source for many of the conversion binaries, a collection of code page and character set resources, and character naming information as used in IBM®. The CD also includes a viewing utility to be used with the provided material. Viewer works with OS/2, Windows 3.1, and Windows 95.

  • Character Data Representative Architecture: Overview, GC09-2207
  • DRDA V5 Vol. 1: Distributed Relational Database Architecture

    This Technical Standard is one of three volumes documenting the Distributed Relational Database Architecture™ Specification. This volume describes the connectivity between relational database managers that enables applications programs to access distributed relational data. It describes the necessary connection between an application and a relational database management system in a distributed environment; the responsibilities of the participants and when flow should occur; and the formats and protocols required for distributed database management system processing. It does not describe an API for distributed database management system processing.

  • DRDA V5 Vol. 2: Formatted Data Object Content Architecture

    This document is one of three Technical Standards documenting the Distributed Relational Database Architecture, Version 4. This volume describes the functions and services that make up the Formatted Data Object Content Architecture (FD:OCA). This architecture makes it possible to bridge the connectivity gap between environments with different data types and data representations methods. FD:OCA is embedded in DRDA. This document is available on the Open Group Web site at https://collaboration.opengroup.org/dbiop/?gpid=453&gpid=453&gpid=453Link outside the information center.

  • DRDA V5 Vol. 3: Distributed Data Management Architecture

    This document is one of three Technical Standards documenting the Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA). This volume describes the architected commands, parameters, objects, and messages of the DDM data stream. This data stream accomplishes the data interchange between the various pieces of the DDM model.
