Sybase SQL - Over View 

Running SQL Anywhere on a single computer

The figure shows the architecture of a standalone SQL Anywhere installation, running a single database engine and working with a single database. All more complicated arrangements are elaborations of this basic setup, so you should understand how the basic setup works, even if you are operating a multi-user client/server installation.

standalone = 독립적인

The components of the basic standalone SQL Anywhere setup are:

- The client application

- The SQL Anywhere interface layer.

- The SQL Anywhere database engine.

- The database.

Database users do not directly manipulate database files. Instead, their client

application communicates with the database engine, using a programming

interface supported by SQL Anywhere, and the database engine handles all

manipulation of the actual database

This section does not describe the situation of a client application and a database

server for different operating systems running on the same computer For a discussion of this arrangement,

see the section "Running mixed operating systems on a single computer" on page 21.
