Purpose
RDA describes the connection of a database client to a database server. It includes features for
- communicating database operations and parameters from the client to the server,
- in return, transporting result data from the server to the client,
- database transaction management.
RDA is an application-level protocol, inasmuch that it builds on an existing network connection between client and server. In the case of TCP/IP connections, RFC 1066 is used for implementing RDA.

Into the night, which becomes a house, a parting of the ways
Taking us far into sleep. A dumb love.”
