摘要： Techniques for managing databases include registering multiple databases at a community server. Each database is controlled by a different party. The community server is accessible over a first network to which one or more users from each party have access. Each database is installed on a different network than the first network. The community server receives from a user over the first network a request to perform a management operation relating to a particular database that is controlled by a particular party. The community server determines that the particular database is registered and determines whether the user is authorized to perform the management operation. If the user is authorized, then the community server causes the management operation to be performed.With these techniques, one or more database devices, such as database appliances, can be managed over the Internet with a browser, at least for many common database management functions. This alleviates the load on an enterprise database manager platform, provides metadata even when the database device or enterprise platform is not working, provides ready backup when a database device or enterprise platform returns to operation, and enables a database administrator for the enterprise to perform some management functions while on the road, away from the site of the enterprise. It can also provide users of an enterprise's database devices with access to some database metadata when the user is on the road or the enterprise equipment is not operating.

摘要翻译： 用于管理数据库的技术包括在社区服务器上注册多个数据库。 每个数据库由不同方控制。 社区服务器可以通过来自每一方的一个或多个用户访问的第一个网络访问。 每个数据库安装在与第一个网络不同的网络上。 社区服务器通过第一网络从用户接收执行与由特定方控制的特定数据库相关的管理操作的请求。 社区服务器确定特定数据库已注册，并确定用户是否被授权执行管理操作。 如果用户被授权，则社区服务器导致执行管理操作。 通过这些技术，一个或多个数据库设备（如数据库设备）可以通过浏览器通过Internet进行管理，至少对于许多常见的数据库管理功能。 这减轻了企业数据库管理器平台上的负载，即使数据库设备或企业平台不工作时也提供元数据，当数据库设备或企业平台返回操作时提供备份，并使企业的数据库管理员能够执行一些 管理功能在路上，远离企业的场地。 当用户在路上或企业设备不运行时，它还可以为企业的数据库设备的用户提供对某些数据库元数据的访问。
