What does IDS Server do?
IDS Server is an internet database access server (or middleware) that allows you to create Web applications that can interact with your backend DBMS. IDS Server offers two ways of doing this: (a) You can embed special tags in a normal HTML document which the IDS Server will recognize and process, then return database query results in a Web page that can be view by your browser. We call this technology IDS HTML Extensions. (b) IDS Server includes IDS JDBC Driver, a Type-3 JDBC driver that will enable you to write and deploy Java applets and programs using the JDBC API to perform database operations.
