What is the difference between running “Client/Server” and just hitting my database through Windows networking?
When using Client/Server there is an active executable program running on another computer. The Client executable program running on your computer talks to this other program through a network connection – making requests for data and other operations. The server program then responds to the client program though the same network connection. If you simply open a database through Microsoft’s networking (drive mapping, etc.) both the client and the server are running locally on your computer. Only the data is on the other computer. This forces the entire database to be “sucked” through the network connection.
