Scalable Database Server, HiRDB Version 8 UAP Development Guide

1.4 UAP operation environment

HiRDB operates in a client/server network environment. The unit used to send a request for executing a UAP is called the client, and the unit used to receive a request is called the server. The system used as the server is the HiRDB server.

A client can operate in any combination of these eight modes:

1 ODBC refers to a database access mechanism advocated by Microsoft Corporation. For details about how to access HiRDB from an ODBC-compatible UAP, see 13. HiRDB Access from ODBC Application Programs.

2 Like ODBC, OLE DB is an API for accessing a wide range of data sources. Unlike ODBC, OLE DB also defines interfaces for accessing non-SQL data. For details about how to access HiRDB from an OLE DB-compatible UAP, see 14. HiRDB Access from OLE DB Application Programs.

3 Linux for AP8000 operates with HiRDB/Developer's Kit Version 6.

Figures 1-4 to 1-11 show the client operation modes.

Use the same platform for the HiRDB/Developer's Kit used to create the UAP and the HiRDB/Developer's Kit used to execute the UAP.
