An architecture and method of operation for servicing data queries within a distributed data warehouse system composed of a plurality of physical servers housing the data to be accessed. Queries are generated by data accessing and processing applications executing on client computers within the distributed data warehouse system. The method enables queried data to be requested by, and delivered to respective client computers without having to pass through a middle-tier server. The method further provides a manageable and scalable system architecture which will readily support a variety of physical servers, including legacy databases, and query format translations when required.
