Also referred to as a schema crosswalk, when someone talks about a crosswalk, what they are generally talking about is a table that allows for references to be built that allow the way data is stored in one database to be matched up with data in another database.
For instance, let's say a school district's student database software keeps track of the gender of each student with a single character field that codes females with an "F" and males with an "M".
The school district is required to upload data about their students to the state in which it operates for analysis, but the state wants to see males coded as "XY" and females coded as "XX".
A crosswalk would need to be created that would convert the gender data in the export process. The crosswalk may look something like this:
F -- XX
M -- XY

When would you choose to implement distributed databases rather than local databases?
I thought you were meant to answer this question????????????????????????????????

Object-oriented
How are databases related to vb?
Databases are related in that you can have a database connected to a VB application and able to read/write from it.
What is better visual foxpro 6.0 or visual basic 6.0?
Mostly depends on what you are attempting to do. Visual Basic 6.0 will provide more flexibility, but FoxPro might be a little bit easier if you are working with databases.
Are algorithms only meant for computers?
No. Indeed, algorithms are actually meant for humans, not computers. Computer programmers translate algorithms into working code such that a computer can process the algorithm. The code is actually the implementation of the algorithm, not the algorithm itself.
