Federated Database Systems for Managing Distributed, Heterogeneous, and Autonomous Databases

Summary: Federated DBs enable selective, controlled integration of distributed, heterogeneous, autonomous databases. This framework enables evolutionary expansion for data sharing and app development via integration levels, balancing global query with local autonomy. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
