The local DataServer configuration
Figure 1–4 shows the local DataServer configuration.
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.
