Object Migration in a Distributed, Heterogeneous SQL Database Network

Abstract: There are many different database management systems (DBMSs) on the market today. They all have different strengths and weaknesses. What if all of these different DBMSs could be used together in a heterogeneous network? The purpose of this thesis is to explore ways of connecting the many different DBMSs together. This thesis will explore suitable architectures, features, and performance of such a network. This is all done in the context of Ericsson’s wireless communication network. This has not been done in this context before, and a big part of the thesis is exploring if it is even possible. The result of this thesis shows that it is not possible to find a solution that can fulfill the requirements of such a network in this context
