Introduction to Adapters

Topics:

In client/server architecture, adapters enable clients to manage data from virtually any data source, and on any operating system, through the use of SQL statements.

The client generates requests for data residing on the server. The server acts as a source of data, and can accept requests from multiple clients for data access and manipulation. Client/server architecture divides a traditional single system into a front-end and a back-end. The workload is distributed between the client and the server. Communications software establishes the link between client and server, and interfaces to the desired communications protocol.
