CHAPTER 14
Adaptive Server IQ as a Data
Server
About this chapter
Adaptive Server IQ supports client application connections through either
ODBC or JDBC. This chapter describes how to use Adaptive Server IQ as
a data server for client applications.
With certain limitations, Adaptive Server IQ may also appear to certain
client applications as an Open Server.This chapter also briefly describes
the restrictions for creating and running these applications.
For information on developing Open Client applications for use with
Adaptive Server IQ, see “The Open Client Interface” in Adaptive Server
Anywhere Programming Interfaces Guide.
You do not use the facilities described in this chapter to use the remote
data access capabilities available to IQ users on Windows NT systems.
For information on remote data access, see the Adaptive Server IQ
Installation and Configuration Guide for Windows NT.
Client/server interfaces to Adaptive Server IQ
This section describes the key concepts of the Adaptive Server IQ
client/server architecture, and provides the conceptual background for the
rest of the chapter.
If you simply wish to use a Sybase application or a third-party client
application with Adaptive Server IQ, you do not need to know any details
of connectivity interfaces or network protocols. However, an
understanding of how these pieces fit together may be helpful for
configuring your database and setting up applications. This section
explains how the pieces fit together, and avoids any discussion of the
internal features of the pieces. For more details about third party client
applications, see the Adaptive Server IQ Installation and Configuration
Guide.
