What is IMAGE/SQL?
IMAGE/SQL is one of Hewlett-Packard's relational database management
systems. 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.
* IMAGE/SQL utility, a data administration tool that links the above
together.[REV BEG] To access the IMAGE/SQL utility program use the
command:
:RUN IMAGESQL.PUB.SYS
The acronym, ATC, stands for ALLBASE/Turbo CONNECT. The terms Turbo
CONNECT and ALLBASE/Turbo CONNECT are synonymous with IMAGE/SQL. ATCUtil
is another name for the IMAGE/SQL utility program. The acronym, ATC,
appears in error messages for IMAGE/SQL (for example, ATCERR or ATCWARN).
ISQL stands for Interactive Structured Query Language. With ISQL, you
can interactively define and access data in an ALLBASE/SQL relational
database environment. Most ALLBASE/SQL statements can be submitted
interactively through ISQL, although a few statements specifically
support programmatic database access and can only be submitted in
application programs.
SQLUtil is the ALLBASE/SQL utility program. It is a different utility
from the IMAGE/SQL utility.[REV END]
