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. 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.
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).
