[REV END] ISQL (Interactive Structured Query Language) A facility for interactively accessing and using ALLBASE/SQL databases and tables. local table A table of data that resides on the PC or a shared disk, as opposed to a remote table, which resides on a remote server (such as Access SQL/iX on the HP 3000). (See also remote table.) Information Access A graphical interface PC application running in the NewWave and Windows environments on the HP Vectra, supported IBM PCs, or supported Compaq PCs. It gives PC users access to ALLBASE/SQL, ORACLE, and INGRES tables by interacting with Access SQL/iX on the HP 3000 or with Access SQL/UX on the HP 9000. It also gives PC users access to IMAGE databases and MPE and KSAM files by interacting with Access Server on the HP 3000 running under MPE V and MPE/iX. PC users can reformat the data and output the results to their PC. ORACLE Relational Database Management System An SQL database management system that resides on the HP 3000 Series 900 and HP 9000 Series 600 and Series 800 computers. remote table A table of data that resides on a remote server (such as Access SQL/iX on the HP 3000), as opposed to a local table, which resides on a PC or a shared disk. (See also local table.) SELECT Authority Allows a user to retrieve data from one or more tables or views. SQL*NET The ORACLE communications component that allows applications to connect to multiple ORACLE databases across a network.
