DataServer Components
The DataServer is a set of software components that allows Progress and WebSpeed applications to access data in the data source. The DataServer enables access by translating standard Progress and WebSpeed code into calls appropriate to the data source. The application can thus manipulate the data as though it were Progress-based data.
The DataServer consists of the components described in Table 1–1.
Figure 1–1 illustrates how the DataServer components are organized for both the Enterprise and the Personal DataServer for SQL Server™.

As shown in Figure 1–1, the components for the Personal DataServer for SQL Server™ are organized similarly to the Enterprise edition except that the DataServer is embedded in the client rather than executing separately.
In either case, a Progress or WebSpeed application uses the DataServer to work with the ODBC Driver Manager, which accesses the desired ODBC driver. The driver then accesses the SQL Server™ database.
Some of the DataServer components are linked with elements of the standard Progress architecture, as described in the “DataServer Configurations” section.
