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.
