About This Manual
This manual describes the HP NonStop ODBC Server, which allows applications
written for the Microsoft ODBC interface, Microsoft SQL Server interface, and Sybase
SQL Server interface to access a HP NonStop SQL/MP database. ODBC clients are
supported on Windows workstations; SQL Server clients are supported on DOS,
Windows, OS/2, and UNIX workstations. The NonStop ODBC Server runs on the HP
server, although one of its components, the HP NonStop ODBC/MP Driver, runs on
the client workstation.
This manual contains reference information for the NonStop ODBC Server, describes
the ODBC or SQL Server features and statements that the NonStop ODBC Server
supports, and describes how the NonStop ODBC Server accommodates the
differences between ODBC or SQL Server and NonStop SQL/MP.
