Local Access Database
Also known as an LAD. A database that serves individual systems and workgroups as the endpoint for shared data distribution. LADs are the “retail outlets” of a data-warehouse network. They provide direct access to data that is requested by specific systems or desktop query services. Data is propagated to LADs from data warehouses, according to orders either for subsets of shared data tables and particular attributes of the data, or for subsets of standard collections. This data is usually located on a Local Area Network (LAN) server. If servers are not available, and the data is static, it may be located on the user’s desktop.
