DocuWare ODBC

DocuWare ODBC lets you integrate an ODBC database, such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server, into the document management system as an alternative to DocuWare's standard database. In systems where numerous users file and process documents, documents can then be managed via client-server databases.

Client-server databases are gaining in popularity. With the DocuWare ODBC add-on module, SQL databases such as Oracle or SQL Server/NT can be used as an alternative to DocuWare's standard database. This enables teams of unlimited size to work actively (i.e. file and search for documents and modify search criteria) in the same file cabinets. True client-server technology minimizes the network load.

Architecture

For each file cabinet, DocuWare ODBC requires a database with the appropriate configuration. This must be set up by either the system administrator or an Authorized DocuWare Partner using the appropriate tools or SQL commands.
From network workstations, DocuWare 4 accesses the database server via ODBC interface. Communication between the ODBC interface and the database server is handled by the drivers provided by the manufacturer of the respective database server.

Flexibility

Database administrators with technical expertise can access ODBC databases directly and query information using appropriate programs. Providing that DocuWare's structure and data integrity are maintained, it is also possible to modify the contents of the document database directly.
