How can the database-intensive parts of application systems be transferred to the database server?
ADABAS allows the definition of DB procedures. These can be executed on both the client or server, as the user chooses. The programming language SQL-PL is provided for this purpose. DB procedures reduce the number of interactions between application and database server and are an important means to performance improvement, especially in client-server configurations. They are also interesting from the maintenance point of view, because centralizing applications logic in a database object means that a modification to the logic of a DB procedure becomes effective in all the applications in which the DB procedure is used.
