Application of middleware technology in the localization of databases

As the localization of databases progresses, application connectivity and adaptation have emerged as critical challenges impeding this process. This paper proposes a solution based on “middleware” technology to address the connectivity and adaptation issues encountered by applications during the localization of databases. This approach eliminates the need for source code access or developer support. By leveraging “middleware” technology, external Structured Query Language (SQL) statements issued by applications are translated in real-time into statements compatible with localized databases. The effectiveness and feasibility of this solution have been validated through adaptation practices across different programming languages, including Java, C++, and C#. The “middleware” technology demonstrates significant application potential and practical value in the context of database localization, effectively overcoming compatibility challenges within complex system architectures.
