METHOD OF OPTIMIZING THE INTERACTION BETWEEN A SOFTWARE APPLICATION AND A DATABASE SERVER OR OTHER KIND OF REMOTE DATA SOURCE

摘要

The invention is a method of optimizing the interaction between (i) a client, being an application such as database software, implemented on a computing device, and (ii) database server software implemented on a computing device. Query data is routed from the client to the database server software through an optimisation system implemented on a computing device and then response data provided by the database server software is routed to the optimisation system. The optimisation system analyses that (or later) query data and, based on that analysis, applies rules to response data provided by the database server software, in order to generate optimised response data to thereby speed up the interaction between the client and the database server software.
