[comp.databases] References Sought

minoura@fog.CS.ORST.EDU (Toshimi Minoura) (03/04/91)

I read in an NSF report that some people are working on
standardization on RDA (Remote Data Access), RPC (Remote Procedure
Call), and API (Application Program Interface).
Are there any references?

Does an embedded SQL interface at a remote site
correspond to RDA or API, or neither of them?
Could someone clarify what are RDA and API?
Has anyone used these features in Sybase?

Thanks.
