Oracle SQL/Services(TM) is a client/server system that enables
client applications on PCs and workstations to access data in
Oracle Rdb7(TM) databases on server systems. A simplified view of
Oracle SQL/Services is shown in the following illustration.

Oracle SQL/Services follows the client/server model in which:
o The client requests a set of services from the server through
an agreed upon interface.
o The server responds by accepting client requests, calling the
server function to execute requests, and sending results back
to the client.
Message requests from the client system and response requests
from the server travel over a DECnet, Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), SQL*Net(R), AppleTalk, or
NetWare (IPX/SPX) communications link.
In its implementation of the client/server model, Oracle
SQL/Services enables programmers working on any of several
computing platforms (Macintosh for MPW, Macintosh for THINK C, MS
Windows on MS-DOS, Windows 95, Windows NT X86, Windows NT Alpha,
Solaris, Digital UNIX, OpenVMS VAX, or OpenVMS Alpha) to develop
client applications that remotely access server databases stored
on any operating system supported by the Oracle SQL/Services
server using an available network transport.
Server databases that client applications can access include
either Oracle Rdb7 databases or other databases supported by
Oracle Rdb7 SQL.
