Abstract
Database connectivity without a need for installing database specific drivers on individual client machines/applications is provided. A database access application module resides on a server associated with the database(s) to be accessed. User interface modules residing on individual client machines/applications enable users to submit their queries or select from a set of predefined queries through the database access application module and receive result sets. Available databases and their properties are updated by the database access application module preventing delays and errors without a need to update database information on individual clients.
