<strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong> components<br />
The <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong> is a set of software components that allows <strong>OpenEdge</strong> and WebSpeed<br />
applications to access data in the data source. The <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong> enables access by translating ABL<br />
and WebSpeed code into calls appropriate to the data source. The application can thus<br />
manipulate the data as though it were <strong>OpenEdge</strong>-based data.<br />
The <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong> consists of the components described in Table 1–1.<br />

A name that identifies a specific set of data and how to<br />
obtain it. You must register a MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> database<br />
as an ODBC data source.<br />
A <strong>Microsoft</strong> program <strong>for</strong> registering and configuring<br />
data sources. You register a data source by providing<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation that the ODBC driver needs through the<br />
