DataServer for
Microsoft SQL Server
Guide
DataServer Components
The DataServer for SQL Server™ is available in two versions:
- The Enterprise DataServer for SQL Server™ can run in a variety of configurations. Some configurations for this version of the DataServer involve a single process running on one machine. Others involve multiple processes running on different machines across multiple platforms.
- The Personal DataServer for SQL Server™ runs only locally on NT or Windows.
For more details on the differences between the two versions, see Introduction."
Before you configure a DataServer, you must register your SQL Server™ database as an ODBC data source. For details, see the "Registering Your Data Source" section.
To set up a DataServer configuration, determine which components you need on which platforms, then set up the appropriate executables on those platforms. Table 3–1 lists the possible combinations and describes which executables you must set up on each machine. In this table, the term local indicates that the DataServer component runs on the same machine as the client, while the term remote indicates that the component runs on a different machine than the client.
NOTE: You can optionally build custom DataServer executables using the Progress PROBUILD utility. See "Building DataServer Executables," for instructions. This is typically useful only on UNIX platforms.For instructions on setting up your DataServer configuration, see the sections that apply to the platforms that you will use. For example, if you are configuring a local DataServer, see the "Configuring a Local DataServer" section. If you are building a remote DataServer configuration host, see the "Configuring the Remote DataServer" section.
