Talk:Data grid

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Data Grid is also the term used for a software component that displays tabular data. For example, in Microsoft Outlook, your list of emails in the inbox is displayed by a Data Grid.

How can we reflect this here?

If the term Data Grid as used in Microsoft products is notable enough to appear in Wikipedia, we create an article and use whichever disambiguation template or scheme is appropriate. If not, we ignore it. Simple as that.—greenrd 00:44, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

There is any way to use the grid in the client browser.

This is not a technical support forum, and anyway you're not talking about the subject of this article, I think.—greenrd 00:44, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

The problem is that there are "data grid" products that are disk-based, such as Avaki (later acquired by Sybase) versus those that are in-memory, which is a very different animal that grew from distributed caching. Gp5588 10:22, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Intro needs rewrite

It's no good saying that a data grid processes data - all computer systems, by definition, process data. Likewise, all distributed systems must share data, by definition. Further, while the term "data management" may possibly have a well-defined non-trivial meaning in this context, if you don't give the reader a clue what you mean in the intro, it's not very helpful. —greenrd 00:46, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
