DBSRV(7) (emu) DBSRV(7)
NAME
dbsrv - ODBC database server
SYNOPSIS
lib/dbsrv alg ...
DESCRIPTION
Dbsrv is normally configured to be run by srv(8) on a
machine that acts as database server, for access through the
module db(7).
The incoming call is authenticated by security-auth(2).
After successful authorisation, the client can request that
a digest and/or encryption algorithm be applied to protect
the data exchanged with the server. Each alg names a digest
or encryption algorithm that the server will allow the
client to use, in any form accepted by ssl(3); the special
name none means that ssl need not be used.
The implementation of dbsrv relies on a program external to
Inferno, infdb, which translates between the db(7) internal
format for requests, and data base access calls on the host.
Dbsrv invokes infdb using the cmd(3) device. Currently
infdb is implemented only under Windows/NT, giving access
via ODBC to a Microsoft Access data base.
