About Zim Integrated Server

Zim 9 always runs under a Client/Server architecture where Zim Server is the server and the clients can be Zim, Zim Thin Client (ZIMTC) or ZimExplore. Zim Server can manage any number of different Zim databases at the same time, all of them located in the same physical machine where Zim Server is running (a…

Compiling Client-Server Application Programs

The “SET SQLCOMPILE” Command Zim is designed to take advantage of many characteristics of a given SQL server. Many SQL servers provide compile time facilities to increase performance at runtime. A compile time option enables you to control when the database server does certain compilation functions such as statement parsing. If SQLCOMPILE is OFF, then…

Block Fetching

A dynamic configuration setting called “block factor” can be used to tune performance. This factor is the number of records retrieved by Zim each time it fetches records from the database. The larger the number, the fewer times Zim has to query the database, and the more time it takes to retrieve a block. So,…

Program Execution

Zim is capable of executing database commands in either of these three modes: SQLMODE SQL mode SERVERMODE Zim Integrated Server mode ZIMMODE Standard Zim mode The default mode of operation is SERVERMODE. For all database servers except Zim Integrated Server, SERVERMODE and SQLMODE behave identically. In SERVERMODE, a Zim client accessing tables on Zim Integrated…

Tracing SQL Commands

In order to access relational databases, Zim client-server generates SQL statements. You can see the statements generated by setting SQLTRACE on. Statements are generated when Zim statements containing references to SQL tables are parsed, compiled, or executed interpretively. Previewing the SQL statements generated provides an insight into the type or amount of work the database…

Connecting and Recompiling the Zim Application

The application is compiled using the “compilemode” option “sqlmode” and conversion to a Zim Client-Server application is complete. If the application is to be developed for execution against a pre-existing SQL server database, then the Zim application should be compiled using the “compilemode” option “zimmode” to test the application for functionality and performance. Then the…

Other Configuration Options

Zim Server has many possible configurations. multi-user single-user   Zim Integrated Server Usually, the Database Agent process accesses a local Zim database (local refers to relationship to the server). The Database Agent process is started much like any version of Zim: it has its own working directory; it uses Zim directory files to look up…

Accessing Multiple Databases at Same Time

Zim enables you to connect to more than one remote database at the same time. This enables you to do join operations between different databases on different machines managed by different Zim database servers. No support for distributed concurrency control is available; updates which span multiple servers, though permitted, should be performed with care. As…

Basic Concepts

It is very important to make a distinction between Zim 9 Server and Zim Server Connectivity. Zim 9 Server always operates in Client/Server mode where Zim Server is the server and Zim, Zim Thin Client are the clients. The clients run a Zim application that accesses data provided by the server. Every time a client…

Security Considerations

Because client and server are separate processes (and can even be on different machines) with Zim Server Connectivity, there are some new options for providing security, although the same basic mechanisms are used. Using ZIM Security Within Zim, security is provided through a combination of log in user names, passwords, and entity set, relationship, and…
