PURPOSE:To provide a distributed information processing system which is capable of providing plural terminals with arbitrary data from plural data bases having different data structures as significant information. CONSTITUTION:A data base is designated from plural data bases A1, A2, ..., by a data base designation means D of a terminal equipment B, a retrieval key is inputted by a retrieval key input means E and it is converted into a common retrieval key by a retrieval key conversion means F. Subsequently, the converted retrieval key is transmitted by a retrieval key transmission means G, it is received by a retrieval key reception means H and a data retrieval is performed by a retrieval key in the data base A1 designated by a data retrieval means I. The retrieved data is rearranged to one-dimensional data by a retrieval data one-dimensional working means J, the rearranging order is preserved as rearranging data, it is transmitted as a retrieval result by a retrieval result transmission means K and it is received by a retrieval result reception means L. The received one-dimensional data is restored to its original data form, by using rearranging data by a retrieval data restoration means M, and it is outputted by a retrieval data output means N.
