ALLBASE/NET is a database access product that provides access to remote data as though it were stored locally. It allows the user of an application on one MPE/iX or HP-UX system to query and update a database in an ALLBASE/SQL DBEnvironment on another MPE/iX or HP-UX system. The remote DBEnvironment must reside on either a HP 3000 Series 900 or a HP 9000 Series 700/800. ALLBASE/SQL on the HP 3000 must be Version A.12.0, or later. ALLBASE/SQL on the HP 9000 must be Version A.03.00, or later.

The following applications can be used with ALLBASE/NET to access a remote ALLBASE/SQL DBEnvironment:

  • ALLBASE/ISQL and ALLBASE Preprocessors

    • HP 3000 Series 900, Version A.12.00 or later

    • HP 9000 Series 300/400, Version A.02.00 or later (client only)

    • HP 9000 Series 700/800, Version A.03.00 or later

  • User-written application programs developed with the following releases of ALLBASE/SQL:

    • HP 3000 Series 900, Version A.12.00 or later

    • HP 9000 Series 300/400, Version A.02.00 or later (client only)

    • HP 9000 Series 700/800, Version A.03.00 or later

  • ALLBASE/Query

    • Version B.01 or HP Visor, Version A.01.03 or later

  • ALLBASE/4GL

    • HP 3000 Series 900, Version B.00.00 or later

    • HP 9000 Series 300/400 (client only) and 700/800, Version B.01.00 or later

  • HP Information Access

    • Version A.05.01 or later

  • HP PC API, Version A.01.00 or later

NOTE: To determine the version of ALLBASE/SQL and ALLBASE/NET you are using, type the SQLVER.PUB.SYS command at the system prompt.

ALLBASE/NET gives users the same SQL functionality provided by the equivalent version of ALLBASE/SQL, with the following exceptions:

  • DBEnvironments cannot be created remotely.

  • New log files cannot be created remotely.

  • Long column data types cannot be used remotely.

  • The ALLBASE/SQL database administration utilities SQLUtil, SQLGEN, and SQLMigrate cannot access a remote DBEnvironment.
