Overview
The Apollo Server is an optional backend database
server for providing remote access over TCP/IP to CA-Clipper, FoxPro 2.6 and
Apollo databases. It is an ideal solution for building client/server
applications.
Developers use
Apollo Embedded to create
stand-alone applications that can manage data locally, or with Apollo Server,
can run in client/server mode in only 5 lines of code! Simply set the IP
address, port #, user name and password in your Apollo application.
Apollo Server Unlimited support an unlimited number of
concurrent client connections. The free 2-User edition supports up to 2
concurrent users, which is ideal for testing and for simple access to remote
DBF/Xbase database files over TCP/IP.

Database Engine
The Apollo embedded database
engine is the underlying low-level technology that is responsible for reading,
writing, and updating the DBF/Xbase database files, indexes and memo files. It
is included with
Apollo
Embedded
and Apollo Server. The database engine consists of several small
SDE*.DLL files that total under 1MB in size, and which may be freely deployed
with your applications.
Developers are not expected
to use the Apollo database engine directly. Instead, use the
Apollo Embedded components which
seemlessly wrap the engine's API, to develop applications.
