104 Part 3: Databases HFSQL Classic HFSQL Classic is a powerful system for managing relational databases (RDBMS) that can be used on a single computer or in local network. HFSQL Classic does not require the setup of a database server. The characteristics of HFSQL Classic are as follows: • An HFSQL Classic application can be run on different client computers distributed across a local network. • The data files are located in a directory that can be accessed by the client computers (a shared directory on the network, for example). Each client computer physically accesses the data files. • All processes (requests, read from and write records to a data file, etc.) are performed on each client computer.
