Table Of Contents
replicated table
A table that keeps a copy of its entire dataset locally on every server in its server group. SQLFire creates replicated
tables by default if you do not specify a PARTITION BY clause. See also partitioned table.
server
A JVM started with the sqlf server command, or any JVM that calls the FabricServer.start method.
A SQLFire server may or may not also be a data store, and may or may not also be a network server.
server group
A logical grouping of server, used for specifying which members will host data for table. Also used for load
balancing thin client connections.
thin client
A process that is not part of the distributed system but is connected to it through a thin driver. The thin client
connects to a single server in the distributed system which in turn may delegate requests to other members of
the distributed system. JDBC thin clients can also be congured to provide one-hop access to data for lightweight
client applications.
thin client driver
The JDBC thin driver bundled in the product (sqlreclient.jar). A process that is not part of the distributed system
but is connected to it through a thin driver. The connection URL for this driver is of the form
jdbc:sqlfire://hostname:port/.
