The OOB Client is an ODBC driver which communicates with the OOB Server. The OOB Server connects to an existing ODBC driver on the server machine. It does not need to be installed on the database server.

The OOB is normally used to provide access to an ODBC driver you cannot obtain for the client platform. For example, your ODBC application needs to run on Linux but it needs to use a Microsoft ODBC driver only available on Windows.

Our customers are typically using the OOB with applications and interfaces such as Perl, Apache/PHP, Python and C to access many Windows-only ODBC drivers from Unix and Linux, including:

Microsoft SQL Server
Microsoft Access
Microsoft Navision

Any other database for which an ODBC driver is available.

To help you administer and control remote ODBC access, the OOB Server also offers features such as centralised configuration, management, access control and monitoring of ODBC data access.
