Hi!

I have "played" a little with ODBC (not making anything "serious" with it), but I was wondering the following:

I've always thought that ODBC could be used via the network, making a client/server design. For example, I could set up a DSN on my computer that uses data on my computer, and have another computer use this same data through ODBC, without that data beeing on a shared directory. In other words, the second computer can't access directly my data, but has to ask, via ODBC, to my computer, who will fetch what it needs (ie process the SELECT instruction), and return the result set, just like a client/server design.

Now my question is: was that right, and if so, how?
