[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]
The DBPROP_MACHINE property specifies the names of the machine(s) on which a query is to be processed.
If more than one catalog or machine are specified, the properties DBPROP_MACHINE, DBPROP_CI_CATALOG_NAME, DBPROP_CI_INCLUDE_SCOPES, and DBPROP_CI_SCOPE_FLAGS must all have the same number of entries. The exception is that if more than one catalog or machine are specified, the count of scopes and flags can either be the count of catalogs and machines or 1.
If more than one machine or catalog are specified, the query is executed on multiple machines, and the results are merged on the local machine.
Machine names should not include preceding slashes, e.g., \\machine.
The machine name "." refers to the local machine. If the name of the local machine is specified, the query is treated as a remote query.
