<h1 class="topictitle1">Remote unit of work</h1>
<div><p><dfn class="term">Remote unit of work</dfn> (RUW) is a form of distributed
relational database processing in which an application program can access
data on a remote database within a unit of work. A remote unit of work can
include more than one relational database request, but all requests
must be made to the same remote database. All requests to a relational database
must be completed (either committed or rolled back) before requests can be
sent to another relational database.</p>
<p>This is shown in the following figure.</p>
<div class="fignone" id="rbal1ruw__rbal1runit"><a name="rbal1ruw__rbal1runit"><!-- --></a><span class="figcap">Figure 1. Remote unit of work in a distributed relational
database</span><br /><img src="rbal1503.gif" alt="Remote unit of work in a distributed relational database" /><br /></div>
<p>Remote unit of work is application-directed distribution because the application
program must connect to the correct relational database system before issuing
the requests. However, the application program only needs to know the name
of the remote database to make the correct connection.</p>
<p>Remote unit of work support enables an application program to read or update
data at more than one location. However, all the data that the program accesses
within a unit of work must be managed by the same relational database management
system. For example, the shop inventory application program must commit its
inventory and accounts receivable unit of work before it can read or update
tables that are in another location.</p>
<p>In remote unit of work processing, each computer has an associated relational
database management system and an associated application requester program
that help process distributed relational data requests. This allows you or
your application program to request remote relational data in much the same
way as you request local relational data.</p>
