Hi!

I am confused about the different possibilities to express a 3-Tier architecture.

Data-Access-Layer
Business-Layer
Presentation Layer (User Interface)

or

Database (aka Backend)
Business-Layer
Presentation Layer (User Interface)

Why can you skip the database in the 1st approach? Both use a database! Does the database belong to the layering or not?!

What is wrong and what is right?

Can someone of you clarify this :)?

Thanks in advance!
