8.1 AcuODBC Server
AcuODBC Server provides you with a true two-tier environment - one in which SQL processing is performed remotely on an application server,
with the results returned to the client machine. This has several advantages:
- Network traffic is reduced, since only queries are sent to the server and
results returned to the client.
- Application servers are generally faster, more powerful machines, so the
processing is accomplished more quickly.
- The remote server can run in the background as a service (or daemon) consuming
few resources until called upon.
- This scenario facilitates centralized management of data, cutting down on
duplication and ensuring that information returned to the application is always
up-to-date.
The data source name (DSN) is located on the remote server.
