What is the Difference between 2-tier and 3 tier applications... Anybody can explain in detail... ..

Answer / rajesh poojari - tavant techno

In the two-tier architecture, the user interface runs on
the client and the database is stored on the server. The
actual application logic can run on either the client or
the server.

In the three-tier architecture, the user interface runs on
the client and the database is stored on the server. Third
tier is for the application logic. The third tier is
between the user interface (client) and the data management
(server) components. This middle tier provides process
management where business logic and rules are executed and
can accommodate hundreds of users (as compared to only 100
users with the two tier architecture) by providing
functions such as queuing, application execution, and
database staging.
