Rauf,

I've discovered the term "distributed database' is overloaded, like a lot of other stuff in our industry.

In general, when I ask the OP to define what THEY mean, its usually an indication I am concerned about what they are attempting to accomplish and want them to give some more details. Only after that can a suitable response be framed. (SO there's no need to climb down my throat about it <g>)

For example, in this case the OP wrote "how to implement distributed database ...". I saw a few warning flags and thus asked what _he_ means, not what we in the Oracle group mean. I then gave some sugestion about what it could include, over and above the accepted definition ...

Very similar to the 'I need to create databases on the fly' situation.
