W-SQL an interface for scalable, highly parallel, database machines
  The goal of any designer building a scalable database machine is to ensure that the interface between the relational processing part of the machine and the storage system is independent of the actual storage media. The interface should be as high a level as possible to ensure that as much processing as possible can be encapsulated in the storage level components. The interface design should also consider such aspects as backup and recovery, concurrency management, mixed on-line processing and decision support, support for triggered actions and low-level support for the full range of SQL data manipulations. The W-SQL interface provides such an interface which has been demonstrated in operation with a specifically designed hardware component called a Data Access Component that provides the basic building block of a highly parallel scalable database machine.
