Where I'm coming from is that you don't have to start the ingres net client.

For example Sqlserver and Oracle, once set up you can forget about them. As
far as the users are concerned they just run ODBC type reports using
Crystal. But with Ingres you have to have this chunky client that needs to
be started and stays started.

So where I'm coming from is a "light" client that's transparent to the
users.


I don't mean JDBC - unless it's free.

Are you referring to JDBC? Our JDBC driver doesn't require any
Ingres components on the client.

I assume you don't really mean that Ingres itself is not started
somewhere. That seems a bit impossible ;-)

Yes, JDBC is free. The .Net provider also doesn't need any running
components AFAICT.
