Creating Client/Server Applications Using Microsoft Jet

Now that you’re familiar with some of the basic concepts involved in client/server design, you probably want to see how you can use Microsoft Jet to implement your application. This section provides additional details on how the engine works in client/server architectures.

Some of the code examples in this section are from the BookSales and BookSalesOptimized sample applications, which are provided on the companion CD-ROM. The BookSales application performs a set of functions on a database, and the BookSalesOptimized application performs the same functions in a more efficient manner. For information about using these sample applications, see “Using the Code Examples in This Chapter” earlier in this chapter.

Note Although most of the techniques discussed in this section apply only to using Microsoft Jet Workspace objects, some also apply to using ODBCDirect Workspace objects. For information on using ODBCDirect Workspace objects, see “The ODBCDirect Workspace Object Model” later in this chapter.
