Heterogeneous database systems

Heterogeneous database systems involve integrating different types of databases that may use various data models, formats, or technologies. They allow organizations to combine and access diverse data sources—like relational, NoSQL, or even legacy systems—within a unified framework. This enables seamless data sharing, analysis, and management across systems with different structures, helping organizations leverage existing resources and adapt to evolving technology landscapes efficiently. Essentially, it's like connecting different language speakers to communicate effectively within a single system.
