The OpenEdge SQL engine supports software requirements for the deployed applications. OpenEdge implements the SQL interface in a client-server configuration. The OpenEdge SQL access consists of:
  • A SQL database engine
  • A client application accessing the database through either of the two available interfaces:
    • A JDBC API
    • An ODBC API

The figure illustrates the architecture of the ABL and OpenEdge SQL clients when connected to the database in a client-server configuration.
