What is IMAGE/SQL?
IMAGE/SQL provides relational access to your TurboIMAGE data using the
industry-standard Structured Query Language (SQL). This access
method includes full read and write capability using ANSI standard
functionality. Closely tuned to the architecture of HP computers,
IMAGE/SQL gives you flexibility in designing and using SQL database
applications on a small or large scale.
IMAGE/SQL includes the following:
* TurboIMAGE/XL.
* The components of ALLBASE/SQL needed to provide relational access
to TurboIMAGE/XL databases.[REV BEG] You receive a restricted
version of ALLBASE/SQL with IMAGE/SQL. With this restricted
version, the size of your TurboIMAGE/XL databases is not
restricted in any way, but you can only store 12 MegaBytes (3000
4K pages) of data in user-defined SQL tables. For an unrestricted
copy of ALLBASE/SQL, you must purchase ALLBASE/SQL.[REV END]
* IMAGESQL, the IMAGE/SQL utility, is a data administration tool
that links the TurboIMAGE/XL database to ALLBASE/SQL. To access
the IMAGE/SQL utility program use the command:
:RUN IMAGESQL.PUB.SYS
* ODBCLink/SE, the 16-bit and 32-bit ODBC compliant driver, for a
client/server environment. Your client can run under Microsoft
Windows 3.1 or 3.11, Windows95, or WindowsNT V3.51 or V4.0.
Connection via Winsock is available in the 16-bit or 32-bit
version. The driver can be used in two ways: either by
direct calls from a supported Windows program or through an
ODBC-compliant application (such as Microsoft Access or Visual
Basic).
