Theory of Operation
This driver is used to interact with external database drivers. These are
usually called "database proxy daemons".
Known Issues
The driver API talks over sockets to remote daemons in an inefficient manner.
It is highly recommended that the proxy daemon and AOLserver both run on
the same machine. Of course, the database can still run on a remote machine
-- it's only the connection between AOLserver and the proxy daemon that
is inefficient and that inefficiency is greatly alleviated by running on
the same host.
Sample Configuration
Please see the Configuration File Reference.
