Hi Alexander, Distribution involves separate machines, connected via TCP. On each

So it is one database per machine, using several processes on that machine, that has to be changed individually, but can be queried as part of a distributed red of databases on several machines connected via TCP? How do you split up the databases? Rather by rows or rather by columns (I know they are not 2D tables in picolisp, what I mean is: does every DB cover the whole class hierarchy, but only a fraction of the objects, or does each DB cover a fraction of the class hierarchy, but all objects belonging to these classes?
