The Web tools are implemented as a Web service and can be used with the MaxDB Web Server as well as with the Web server Apache.
The MaxDB Web Server is installed with the Web tools. If you want to use the Apache Web server, then you must configure it separately. The database instance can be on the same computer or on a different computer.
A connection to the client (Web DBM or Web SQL service integrated into the Web server) is created by calling a Web Tool in the Web browser. The communication between the client and the database instance takes place, for the Web DBM tool, through the DBM Server and through the ODBC interface for the Web SQL Studio tool.
