Structured query language server data sources often times have different language constructs for interacting with software data consuming clients. A unified structured query language data server is interposed in the network chain between the structured query language server data sources and the networked data consuming software clients to present an interface to retrieve networked data from different SQL database server types in one single structured query language to software consumers in the form of computer programs accessing the data on a network. These data consuming clients can now access any number of SQL database sources with one single set of structured query language commands through the invention which acts as a query language translating device, though not exclusively. The invention also provides a unified authentication method to access data in structured query language server data sources connected to it. Data consuming software clients can also use the invention to collate several requests from same or different types of structured query language data servers into one single structured data response based on a set of requests using one structured query language based on the ISO/ANSI SQL standard.
Data consumers in the form of computer programs accessing data on a network are presented a single structured query language interface for accessing data from many different networked data sources that use different types of structured querying languages. Such is a system comprising of a middle tier structured query language translating networked server with additional collating and computing functionality based on client requests comprised of structured query language instructions over a computer network. SQL data access for software clients using a single set of SQL instructions for requesting data from various structured query language database servers, using same or varying SQL language lexicons, by using one SQL lexicon set and one network connection to the invention server is the basis of the invention.
