Object server
The ODABA object server is a smart database server. The object server may run in heterogeneous environments serving clients on different hardware and software platforms (e.g.Linux server serving Windows clients).
In order to access data stored on an object server, one needs to configure the data source by setting server name and server port directly in the data source or via configuration or ini-file (see example below). Option variables for databases and dictionaries have to be defined on server side in a file catalog, which is, in the simple case, just a special section in the server's configuration or ini-file.
One may also connect the client ( Client ::connect() ) explicitly from within the application.
// start server
Server ini_file port_number [-q] [-h]
// Client data source for object server access
