02-Database Architecture - Studytonight

Database architecture can be divided into two types: two-tier and three-tier client/server architectures. Two-tier architecture connects client programs directly to the database through an API. Three-tier architecture includes an intermediate application server layer that stores web connectivity software and business logic, acting as a medium between the database server and client.
