That's my understanding...... If you think of a linux server hosting Tomcat which in turn is hosting a complex Java application, which utilizes a big ass Oracle database hosted on a Solaris server in some other corner of the IT dept..... Then the Oracle database is not embedded, and is accessed via JDBC.
The funny thing is, Universe is only embedded for those good ol' fashioned green screen apps that we all know and love. In today's world, there is nothing to stop you from swapping out that 'big ass Oracle database' mentioned above with a Universe database....... Then, it's no longer embedded....

How does the data get moved between the application and the database? ODBC/etc., etc., etc.? Does "embedded" imply a level of application interactivity with the data in the database that one would not have if the database being addressed by the application was not embedded?

So most of this list's members probably don't *use* an embedded database, but rather they are in the business of embedding one into their own application. And when they do, I guess they turn RetrieVe or UniQuery into an "Embedded Reporter", eh? -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
