Abstract
A method and apparatus for transparently invoking from a first database management system (DBMS) a stored procedure residing at a second DBMS. The first DBMS initially receives an instruction from a user to execute the stored procedure. In response, an invoking instruction executable at the second DBMS is automatically generated for causing the second DBMS to execute the stored procedure. The invoking instruction is sent to the second DBMS. In response to the invoking instruction, the second DBMS executes the stored procedure and provides the results to the first DBMS, which provides the results to the user. The fact that the stored procedure resides at the second, rather than the first, DBMS is transparent to the user.
