Creating and Maintaining Database Links

Chaining is a method by which a server contacts other servers on behalf of a client
application and then returns the combined results. This method is implemented
through the database link. A database link points to data stored remotely. When a
client application requests data from a database link, the database link retrieves the
data from the remote database and returns it to the client.
The following sections describe how to create and configure a database link. For
more general information about chaining, refer to "Designing the Directory
Topology" in Netscape Directory Server Deployment Guide.
You can create and configure a database link using Directory Server Console or
the command line. The following sections describe the procedures for creating
and maintaining a database link:
• Configuring the Chaining Policy
• Creating a New Database Link
• Chaining Using SSL
• Maintaining Database Links
• Database Links and Access Control Evaluation
• Advanced Feature: Tuning Database Link Performance
• Advanced Feature: Configuring Cascading Chaining
For information about monitoring the activity of your database links, refer to
"Monitoring Database Link Activity," on page 433.
