- Description of Working Group:
- The Network Database Working Group is chartered to define a standard
- interface among databases on TCP/IP networks. The Working Group will
- address the issue of database connectivity in a distributed environment
- which allows authorized users remote access to databases. It will be
- designed as a client/server model based on TCP/IP as its communication
- protocol.
-
- Several problems must be resolved that are associated with the network
- database protocol, such as management of multiple threads between
- clients and servers, management of multiple servers, management of data
- buffers, data conversions, and security.
-
- Additional related problems will be covered as the discussion goes on.
- Therefore, the description and the schedule can be revised.
-
- This Working Group is independent from the SQL access group; however,
- there may be some overlapping interest. The SQL access group is welcome
- to join IETF's discussions and share information in both directions.
- If both groups find that merging two efforts into one will speed up the
- process, the merge can be done in the future. For now, this Working
- Group works on issues according to its own schedule and efforts.
-
-
- Goals and Milestones:
-
- Done Review and approve the Charter, making any changes necessary.
- Examine needs, resources for this network database protocol
- and define the scope of work. Begin work on a framework for the
- solution. Assign writing assignments for first draft of the
- document.
-
- Done First draft to be completed.
-
- Done Review first draft document, determine necessary revisions.
- Discuss problems remained unsolved from the first IETF meeting.
-
- Done Continue revisions based on comments received at meeting and
- e-mail. Start making document an Internet-Draft.
-
- Mar 92 Review final draft. If it is OK, give it to IESG for publication
- as RFC.
-
- Jun 92 Revise document based on implementations. Ask IESG to make
- the revision a Draft Standard.
