Using 4D for OCI with 4D

Home

4D v19

4D for OCI can be used with either 4D or 4D Server. When used with 4D for OCI, 4D enables you to create a database that can become a client of the Oracle database. Each user with a copy of the database can simultaneously connect to and use the Oracle database.

4D Server enables you to create a multi-developer database application. When used with 4D for OCI, 4D and 4D Server allow multiple developers to connect to an Oracle database. Although the clients are still connected to a server running 4D, they communicate directly with the Oracle server to display and modify data.

In this manual, 4D and 4D Server are both referred to as 4D except when there is a difference between the two products.
