A heterogeneous database system is an automated (or semi-automated) system for the integration of heterogeneous, disparate database management systems to present a user with a single, unified query interface.
Heterogeneous database systems (HDBs) are computational models and software implementations that provide heterogeneous database integration.[1][2]
