Claims
- 1. A data base transfer controller for use with a digital computer having a first processor, for performing database information transfers between the computer and at least a second processor device coupled to the computer via a communications network, each processor having a data base that may be different in structure and number of data base elements, the controller comprising:
- means for identifying the first processor's data base elements;
- means for identifying the at least second processor's data base elements, the at least second processor's data base elements being different in structure or number of data base elements than the first processor's data base elements;
- means, coupled to the first and the at least second processor, for comparing the identified data base elements to determine those elements common to the first and the at least second processor data bases;
- means, coupled to the first and the at least second processor, for developing a working language from the data base elements common to the first and the at least second data base elements;
- means, coupled to the first and the at least second processor, for communicating the working language to the first and the at least second processor; and
- means, coupled to the first and the at least second processor, for commencing transfers of data base information between the first and the at least second processor as a function of the working language.
- 2. The controller of claim 1 wherein the means for developing a working language further comprises means for ignoring uncommon data base elements within the first and the at least second processor data bases.
- 3. The controller of claim 1 wherein, upon receipt of the working language, either processor may initiate data base information transfers.
- 4. The controller of claim 1 wherein the means for identifying the first processor's data base elements is the first processor.
- 5. The controller of claim 1 wherein the means for identifying the at least second processor's data base elements is the second processor.
- 6. The controller of claim 1 wherein the means for comparing the identified data base elements comprises at least one of the processor's coupled to the comminations network.
- 7. The controller of claim 1 wherein the means for developing a working language is at least one of the processor's coupled to the comminations network.
- 8. The controller of claim 1 wherein the working language is developed without resort to data base conversion routines.
