Abstract

This invention describes a SQL Network Gadget which can be connected to a computer network. This invention does not use a microprocessor, it does not use an operating system and it does not run software. Devices in the network make a connection to the invention and send encrypted packets which contain SQL queries which are interpreted and a reply is sent back to the device which sent the SQL queries. The data that needs to be stored due to processing the SQL queries is stored on a hard drive which is connected directly to this invention. By removing the overhead of the operating system and removing the interpreting of the software by a general purpose microprocessor, there is both an increase in speed and a reduction in cost.

Claims

1. An integrated circuit which can be connected to the internet comprising:

a primary interface which implements a network protocol such as the ethernet protocol

a second interface which implements the internet protocol and which interacts with the primary interface

a third interface which implements the transmission control protocol and which interacts with the second interface

a fourth interface which implements a standard encryption algorithm such as RSA encryption and which interacts with the third interface

a fifth interface which interprets the SQL language and which interacts with the fourth interface

2. The integrated circuit of claim 1 additionally comprising:

a sixth interface which reads and writes an external hard disk drive and which interacts with the fifth interface

3. The integrated circuit of claim 1 additionally comprising:

a seventh interface which reads and writes an external random access memory and which interacts with the fifth interface

4. The claim of 3 wherein the external random access memory is non-volatile

5. The integrated circuit of claim 1 where the third interface implements the universal datagram protocol instead of the transmission control protocol

6. The integrated circuit of claim 1 where the fourth interface is absent and the fifth interface interacts directly with the third interface
