Abstract
Host systems can be accessed via industry standard query languages such as SQL by encapsulating the structure of the host application and allowing data to be retrieved or changed without knowledge of how the host application functions. Encapsulation and ability to use a standard database interface dramatically reduces the size, complexity and cost of developing clients.
