The local DataServer configuration

Local DataServer configuration

The following figure shows the local DataServer configuration.
Figure 4. The local DataServer for ODBC
In the local DataServer configuration, all of the DataServer software components, the schema holder, and any ODBC data-source client software run on the same machine. Depending on the ODBC and data-source client software implementation, the actual target database may be local or remote to the machine where the local OpenEdge DataServer for ODBC executes. If the data-source client software supplies modules that manage networked database communications, a remote database configuration is possible. The DataServer cares only about the local ODBC data-source definition. Remote database access is transparent to the DataServer.
