Abstract
A proxy server acts as an intermediary between a database client and a database server. The proxy server is configured with a set of user-defined rules. When a request is received from the database client, the proxy server may apply rules that modify, route, reject, log, or pass the request to the database server. Individual rules may be based on attributes of the client computer system, database server, or the request itself. In one embodiment, a rule may be used to translate a request from a format provided by the client into a format preferred by a destination database. In one embodiment, a rule may route a particular request to one of a number of databases based on the nature of the request.
