An overview of the multidatabase system MRDSM

tRDStl is a prototype relationalmrltidatabase system developed within SESAME project at MIA. The system provides functionalities for management of collections of relational databases. Such functionalities will be highly needed since many databases will be available. The system is an extension of the well known tRDS database system (tlultios Relational Data Store). We overview the main HRDStl functionalities and the corresponding implementation teohniques. Host of these functionalities are yet unknown to other systems.
