### Dharma Integrator

Dharma Integrator allows client/server tools to join data from multiple data sources. The Integrator gives users the ability to look at all the data sources on the network as one virtual database. The Integrator supports all ODBC tools, drivers, and data sources.

With Dharma Integrator, experience the power of integrating data scattered throughout your organization: data important to your company's needs, from accounting, marketing, sales, and manufacturing. The Integrator provides the two fundamental data integration capabilities: data access and data synthesis.

#### Data Access Through a Virtual Data Source

The Integrator creates a "virtual data source" by managing connections to different sources and locations. The virtual data source appears to the tools as one unified database, making distributed data integration transparent. It doesn't matter if the data resides locally or across the network, or if the databases are from different vendors. The Integrator seamlessly manages connections to multiple data sources at your desktop. Tools recognize a single data source: one connection, one active transaction, one catalog, and one SQL interface, no matter how many databases make up the virtual data source.

#### Data Synthesis: Joining Remote Data Transparently

The Integrator lets you combine data from multiple data sources that make up the virtual data source. This data synthesis capability solves the problem of splicing pieces of data you need from a variety of different databases. The Integrator maximizes the power of client/server tools to transparently join distributed data and transform it into the information you need. Whatever tool you use, its familiar interface works with a virtual data source as if it were a single database. The virtual data source makes heterogeneous joins completely transparent. Client/server tools simply choose among tables in the virtual data source as if they were in a single database.
