    Common abbreviation for ‘eXtended Architecture’.

    In database terms, this was used to describe a specific architecture of distributed systems that supported ‘confirmed distributed transactions’ using mechanisms such as two phase commit. IIRC, first appeared shortly after the release of the SQL-86 spec, but before SQL-89 (and therefore before SQL-92).
