Organization
This manual explains how to use the OpenEdge® DataServer for Microsoft SQL
Server. It provides startup instructions and a brief tutorial that introduces the utilities
that support the DataServer. Additionally, it discusses database design and
programming issues to consider when creating applications that access the OpenEdge
and MS SQL Server database management systems, and provides tuning and
troubleshooting information.
Note: In this manual, any reference to the term MSS or data source in the text, screen
captures, or code examples presented refers to the MS SQL Server database.
This book is intended for programmers who want to develop OpenEdge applications
that run with SQL Server databases. It assumes a fundamental knowledge of
OpenEdge and MS SQL Server.
Chapter 1, “Introduction”
Describes the DataServer architecture (components and configurations) and
software requirements, and provides guidelines for using the DataServer.
Chapter 2, “Initial Programming Considerations”
Discusses the differences between the OpenEdge database and MS SQL Server
and the DataServer strategies for resolving these differences. Includes database
design issues and application issues.
Chapter 3, “RDBMS Stored Procedure Details”
Defines relational database management system (RDBMS) stored procedures
and describes how to create and implement them in an OpenEdge environment.
It discusses various techniques to execute RDBMS stored procedures and Send
SQL statements on the MS SQL server and load results sets directly into
temp-tables. ProDataSet functionality, available through the use of temp-tables, is
also briefly discussed.
Chapter 4, “Additional Features to Enhance DataServer Performance”
Presents various DataServer performance enhancement techniques you can use,
including connection pooling.
