Abstract

A system provides efficient multi-protocol database transaction processing in a multi-communications protocol and multi-programming model computing environment. The system separates the source and the target functionalities, and uses generic function names linked to function pointers, in order to permit the source layer to call embedded functions in the target layer. As an example, the system provides a source layer code path that includes embedded call-back functions and embedded generic function names. A target layer code path is set to include embedded functions and generic call-back function names. A function pointer array permits the source layer code path to call functions embedded in the target layer code path using the generic function names. A call-back function pointer array permits the target layer code path to call the call-back functions embedded in the source layer code path using the generic call-back function names.
