.TH DBSRV 7 emu .SH NAME dbsrv \- ODBC database server .SH SYNOPSIS .B lib/dbsrv .I alg \&... .SH DESCRIPTION .I Dbsrv is normally configured to be run by .IR svc (8) on a machine that acts as database server, for access through the module .IR db (7). .PP The incoming call is authenticated by .IR security-auth (2). After successful authorisation, the client can request that a digest and/or encryption algorithm be applied to protect the data exchanged with the server. Each .I alg names a digest or encryption algorithm that the server will allow the client to use, in any form accepted by .IR ssl (3); the special name .B none means that .I ssl need not be used. .PP The implementation of .I dbsrv relies on a program external to Inferno, .BR infdb , which translates between the .IR db (7) internal format for requests, and data base access calls on the host. .I Dbsrv invokes .B infdb using the .IR cmd (3) device. Currently .B infdb is implemented only under Windows/NT, giving access via ODBC to a Microsoft Access data base. .SH FILES .TF /usr/user/keyring/default .TP .B /cmd host command execution .TP .B /Nt/386/bin/infdb.exe Windows executable for ODBC interface .TP .BI /usr/ user /keyring/default server's authentication data when .IR svc (8) run as .I user .SH SOURCE .B /appl/lib/dbsrv.b .SH SEE ALSO .IR db (7), .IR svc (8)
