Example: Spiffy Corporation distributed relational database

Examples used throughout this topic collection illustrate particular functions, connections, and processes. These might not correspond exactly to the examples used in other distributed relational database publications, but an attempt has been made to make them look familiar.

Though the Spiffy Corporation is a fictional enterprise, the business practices described here are modeled after those in use in several companies of similar construction. However, this example does not attempt to describe all that can be done using a distributed relational database, even by this example company.
