Distributed result set iterator Pattern

In this post I would give slight insight into a pattern that is not a GoF pattern and is in use today.

After some research on past research papers I found very interesting pattern made by Brad Long known as Distributed result set iterator. It is used for Retrieving large amounts of information over wide area networks, including the Internet.

Since the public and industry demand for fast transmission of large amount of data is increasing, various problems arise when big chunks of data and information are accessed from the database over the internet. Issues like response delay, fault tolerance and lack of direct memory access to data serving resources are major concerns. To meet the demands and deliver consumer’s request for immediate, prompt data/information, distributor result set iterator design pattern is developed that tackles such data related issues, where user request for data from client end to the remote server, both residing on different sites on the internet.
This pattern has been incorporated into Oracle corporation software development framework.
