I am taking a Middleware paper next semester, I know that middleware is a bridge in between a database or operating system and an application. That is all I know so I have a few questions if somebody dosent mind answering:
- What is the purpose of middleware?
- Do we need middleware or is it just a tool/accessory that we can choose to use?
- What are some examples of middleware that interact with a database?
- How does it improve database systems?
