From Integration of Web and Relational Databases CPS600 Spring Semester -- April 1995. by Gang Cheng (Geoffrey Fox) * See also color IMAGE
For security and database consistence reason, userid/password at the database level (not Mosaic page-level) is enforced to update the database (fig. 12)
Two kinds of folders: MH folder in UNIX file system and folder table in the database system. They hold the same information but in different places.
Original MH mail (in MH format) in a folder must be converted into the database tables (in Oracle table format) to enable all the above query options on the Oracle db server
Assume each database folder must have a unique MH folder in UNIX file system. The database folder is created when the first mail in the UNIX MH folder is being incorporated in the database
