Abstract:
There are various motivations for applications to be
database independent, such as the difficulty in migrating a database
application from one vendors database management system to
anothers. This work focuses on an approach to achieve this database
independence, by the using of a database-independent syntax for
describing database schemas and queries. The project framework reads
in a specification in a neutral syntax and creates and executes the
Data Definition Language (DDL) and Data Manipulation Language (DML)
statements in different database management systems.
