Introduction to RDB Access
Page 13
Using the RDB package
1. Write an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) application using MPS Devel-
oper.
2. Include SQL blocks in the IVR application.
a. Type SQL commands into the block or use MPS SQL.
b. Specify native, SQL Client, or CORBA Client connections in each
block.
3. When you run the IVR application, each SQL block formulates SQL
commands.
4. If the application uses a client connection, the SQL commands are sent to
either the SQL Client or CORBA Client. (This step is omitted if the appli-
cation uses a native connection.)
5. The SQL commands are sent to a program/library that is part of MPS
RDB.
6. The RDB program/library forwards the SQL commands to the RDBMS
Client.
7. If the application uses native or SQL Client connections, the RDBMS Cli-
ent sends the SQL commands to the RDBMS database. If the application
uses CORBA Client connections, the RDBMS Client sends the SQL com-
mands to the CORBA Server.
8. The results from the RDBMS Database (or CORBA Server) are sent back
to the IVR application in reverse order.
