Overview

A HFSQL application can operate in network mode or in Client/Server mode.

To find out which operating mode is adapted to your applications, let's compare these two modes.

A HFSQL Network application is run on different user computers.

A HFSQL Client/Server application is run on different user computers (called client computers).

In HFSQL Network mode

In HFSQL Client/Server mode

The data files are found in a directory accessible to the user computers. Each user computer physically accesses the data files.

The data files are found on a server. Only the server physically accesses the data files.

The processes (queries, read/add operation in a data file, ...) are performed on each user computer.

All the processes (queries, read/add operations in a data file, ...) are performed on the server
