Abstract
A computer system includes one or more local users and one or more remote users. Each of the local users and remote users communicate with a database via respective telecommunications lines and/or an intermediate computer network. All calls to the database in a transaction between the local or remote user and the database are packaged into a single communication between the user and the database. The results are similarly packaged and communicated back to the user.
