ALLBASE/NET is a database access product that provides access to remote data as though it were stored locally. It allows the user of an application on one HP-UX or MPE/iX system to query and update a database in an ALLBASE/SQL DBEnvironment on another HP-UX or MPE/iX system. The remote DBEnvironment must reside on either a HP 9000 Series 700/800, or HP 3000 Series 900. ALLBASE/SQL on the HP 9000 must be Version A.03.00, or later. ALLBASE/SQL on the HP 3000 must be Version A.12.0, or later.

The following applications can be used with ALLBASE/NET to access a remote ALLBASE/SQL DBEnvironment:

ALLBASE/ISQL and ALLBASE Preprocessors
- HP 9000 Series 300/400, Version A.02.00 or later (client only)
- HP 9000 Series 700/800, Version A.03.00 or later
- HP 3000 Series 900, Version A.12.00 or later
User-written application programs developed with the following releases of ALLBASE/SQL:

	NOTE: To determine the version of ALLBASE/SQL and ALLBASE/NET you are using, type the `sqlver` command at the system prompt.

ALLBASE/NET gives users the same SQL functionality provided by the equivalent version of ALLBASE/SQL, with the following exceptions:

DBEnvironments cannot be created remotely.
New log files cannot be created remotely.
Long column data types cannot be used remotely.
The ALLBASE/SQL database administration utilities SQLUtil, SQLGEN, and SQLMigrate cannot access a remote DBEnvironment.
