Description

• JDBC Service Driver. This component is only available for Windows platforms. The service driver provides a bridge between the JDBC client and the Data Collection IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Data Model component. The service driver handles data requests from the service client driver, and can be installed on the same computer or on one or more remote computers. This allows you to configure one service driver that can be used by many clients. The service driver can reduce network traffic when your case data is located on the same computer where the service driver is installed (all queries occur on the same server). Only the resulting cases are sent to the service client. There may also be performance improvements when the server has a faster processor or more RAM than the service client machines.
• Client Service Driver. This component is available for Windows, UNIX, and Linux operating systems. The service client driver provides an interface between the client application, that needs to read the Data Collection case data, and the service driver that handles the data request.
