Database Configurations
When the user connects to more than one database, there are two basic configurations: federated and distributed. Table 1–3 compares these configurations. Figure 1–4 and Figure 1–5 show the two configurations.

Configuration
Description Federated All databases are local. Figure 1–4 shows a sample federated database configuration. Distributed One or more of the databases reside on one or more remote machines in the network, and Progress sessions connect to the database using a single networking protocol. Figure 1–5 shows a sample distributed configuration.
