How does an intranet DB application differ from an Internet DB application?
Functionally, intranet database applications and Internet database applications are the same. In fact, intranet applications simply are subsets of Internet or Web applications; they both implement the same technologies to accomplish their goals. The primary difference between an intranet and an Internet database application is who has access to the database applications. A common misconception about intranets is that they are physically located in a single geographical area (for example, internal to a corporate office building) and are not connected to the Internet. In reality, intranets typically are not physically disconnected from the Internet, and they are not bound by geography. Once again, the definition begins and ends with who can access the data.
