Standard Services Standard services perform common database functions such as inserts, deletes, and
updates. These services are packaged in two standard servers provided by the
Pathmaker product: one for use with NonStop SQL tables and one for use with
Enscribe files Remember that you cannot mix Enscribe files and NonStop SQL tables
in one DB requester.
Standard services cannot be modified and can only be used with DB requesters.
For each file associated with a DB requester, you can choose which of the standard
services you want to provide for the end user. Table 3-2 provides a brief summary of
each of these standard services and identifies the default function key associated with
each operation. Appendix B offers a detailed explanation of how an end user would
use these standard services.
