Mermaid—A front-end to distributed heterogeneous databases

Mermaid is a system that allows the user of multiple databases stored under various relational DBMSs running on different machines to manipulate the data using a common language, either ARIEL or SQL. It makes the complexity of this distributed, heterogeneous data processing transparent to the user. In this paper, we describe the architecture, system control, user interface, language and schema translation, query optimization, and network operation of the Mermaid system. Future research issues are also addressed.
