Enterprise Federated Query is a hoax! by Enoch Moses, January 9, 2008.

Everyone uses the federated query example as a great application in the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) paradigm. Via SOA paradigm, the application developers can integrate their client application to numerous services and this will allow the client application users to search and browse various data sources. This sounds great in theory however an enterprise federated query application is not possible. Before we look into why an enterprise federate query application will be a reality, we need to understand what is a federated query application (fqa).

Problems listed:

  • High number or infinity number of data sources
  • Security
  • Data Source variation
  • Result set Aggregation
  • Governance

It has been a little over three (3) years since that post.

True? Still true? Ever true? True then but not now? True then but not in the near future (our next IPO)?
