Server Environment
The networked HP 3000 Series 900 with ALLBASE/SQL and/or IMAGE/SQL or the HP9000 Series 7xx or 8xx with ALLBASE/SQL provide the relational database environment on the server. Security is provided by the MPE/iX or
The Connecting Link
ODBCLink/SE links the client to the server with a collection of dynamic link libraries (DLLs) and other files that reside on the client and run under Microsoft Windows95 and greater or Microsoft WindowsNT. ODBCLink/SE routes requests, made from the PC client application, over the network to an ALLBASE/SQL or IMAGE/SQL database on the database server, and returns replies to the client application.
A listener process establishes the connection between the PC client application and the target database on the server. The listener works with HP ThinLAN 3000/iX on the HP3000 or ARPA Services on the HP9000.
