In a client-server database network having a user-interface layer
communicating with a database-interface layer via a middleware
communication layer, a method is disclosed for facilitating execution of
a user-inputted message. The method includes receiving the user-inputted
message from the user-interface layer in the middleware communication
layer, and forwarding the received user-inputted message to the
database-interface layer based on a predetermined attribute contained in
the received user-inputted message. The method further includes executing
the forwarded user-inputted message in the database-interface layer based
on the predetermined attribute. In this way the involvement of the
middleware communication layer in the execution of the user-inputted
messages is minimized, thus facilitating the overall execution of the
user-inputted messages in the client-server database network.
