Abstract

An efficient method and system for wireless database management that allows database administrators to monitor and manage a plurality of databases from a remote location is disclosed. Included in this description are steps for reducing the amount of data transmitted and received by narrow bandwidth wireless communications, storing the results of requests made by the same user repeatedly for quicker access time, and enabling a single user to access multiple databases within the wireless database management system simultaneously.

Claims

1. A method for wireless monitoring and management of databases wherein a result is

displayed on a wireless device, the method comprising the step of:

storing a result of a user request made to a database from a wireless device, said result being stored on a server.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

updating the result of a stored user request.

3. The method of claim 2 further comprising the step of:

adjusting how often the result of a stored user request is updated.

4. A method for wireless monitoring and management of databases wherein results are

displayed on a wireless device, the method comprising the step of:

assigning session identification information to each connection established between a wireless device and a database.

5. The method of claim 4 further comprising the step of:

appending session identification information to a user request made to a database from a wireless device.

6. The method of claim 4 further comprising the step of:

associating session identification information with a stored result of a user request made to a database from a wireless device, said result being stored on a server.

7. The method of claim 6 further comprising the step of:

updating the result of a stored user request.

8. The method of claim 7 further comprising the step of:

adjusting how often the result of a stored user request is updated.

9. The method of claim 5 further comprising the step of:

associating session identification information with a stored result of a user request made to a database from a wireless device, said result being stored on a server.

10. The method of claim 9 further comprising the step of:

updating the result of a stored user request.

11. The method of claim 10 further comprising the step of:

adjusting how often the result of a stored user request is updated.

13. The method of claim 12 further comprising the steps of:

assigning session identification information to each connection established between a wireless device and a database;

associating session identification information with a stored result of a user request made to a database from a wireless device, said result being stored on a server; and

associating an encoded user request with session identification information.

14. The method of claim 13 further comprising the step of:

updating the result of a stored user request.

15. The method of claim 14 further comprising the step of:

adjusting how often the result of a stored user request is updated.

17. The method of claim 16 further comprising the step of:

associating the address of a database with a nickname, said nickname being stored on a server.

18. The method of claim 17 further comprising the step of:

allowing the nickname associated with a database to be set by a user.

12. A method for wireless monitoring and management of databases wherein results are

displayed on a wireless device, the method comprising the step of:

encoding a user request made to a database from a wireless device, said codes being stored on a server.

16. A method for wireless monitoring and management of databases wherein a result is displayed on a wireless device, the method comprising the step of:

storing the addresses of one or more databases on a server.

19. A method for wireless monitoring and management of databases wherein a result is

displayed on a wireless device, the method comprising the step of:

allowing alerts to be sent to a wireless device from a server within a wireless database management system.
