IMAGE/SQL Administration Guide

What is IMAGE/SQL? 

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.[REV BEG] You receive a restricted
       version of ALLBASE/SQL with IMAGE/SQL. With this restricted
       version, the size of your TurboIMAGE/XL databases is not
       restricted in any way, but you can only store 12 MegaBytes (3000
       4K pages) of data in user-defined SQL tables.  For an unrestricted
       copy of ALLBASE/SQL, you must purchase ALLBASE/SQL.[REV END]

   *   IMAGESQL, the IMAGE/SQL utility, is a data administration tool
       that links the TurboIMAGE/XL database to ALLBASE/SQL. To access
       the IMAGE/SQL utility program use the command:

            :RUN IMAGESQL.PUB.SYS 

   *   ODBCLink/SE, the 16-bit and 32-bit ODBC compliant driver, for a
       client/server environment.  Your client can run under Microsoft
       Windows 3.1 or 3.11, Windows95, or WindowsNT V3.51 or V4.0.
       Connection via Winsock is available in the 16-bit or 32-bit
       version.  The driver can be used in two ways:  either by
       direct calls from a supported Windows program or through an
       ODBC-compliant application (such as Microsoft Access or Visual
       Basic).
