A method for converting a distributed system includes providing a central database in communication with a database, in which the central database includes central schema information for accessing data stored in the central database. The method further includes transferring content data and schema information from the database to the central database for storage. The method further includes connecting schema information stored in the database to the central schema information such that each database is configured to receive a request for information, redirect the request from the database to the central database based on the referenced schema information, and receive, from the central database, the requested information.

Distributed system having a shared central database

A system for managing electronic information in a distributed system includes a shared central database for which a plurality of servers transmits data for storage. The shared central database is configured to store central schema information used for accessing the one or more data stores of the central database. Local databases each reference at least a portion of the central schema information for accessing the central database. Upon receiving a request for information, a local database directs the request to the central database based on the referenced schema information. The central database processes the request and transmits the data to the local database from which data was requested.
