Accessing databases

In order to access data in an ODABA database, an access handle hierarchy is required.

• Database access types - Accessing a database is possible in local mode (on the local computer), in a local network (file server access mode or ODABA object server) or in the internet (HTTP server or replication server).

ODABA supports generic access by means of property and value handles, but also named access by means of property names (OSI, C++). In order to provide named access in C++, class definitions may be generated from data type definitions.
