Requirements for Enabling Access to the Database
Ingres provides access to data stored locally on your computer, or if you are connected by a network, to data stored remotely on other nodes as well.
Your database always resides on a remote host computer. Access the database through a server installed on the remote host.
To access a database, you must have been given access to it by the database administrator. Additionally, your system must meet the following requirements to enable access to local and remote databases:
• For access to a local database, a server must be running on your local node.
• For access to a database on a remote node in your network, Ingres Net must be installed on both the local node and the remote node, and a server must be running on the remote node.
• For access to a non‑Ingres database, the Enterprise Access product for that database must be installed. See the installation guide specific to that Enterprise Access product.
• For access to a distributed database, if your system supports it, Ingres Star must be installed.
Check with your system administrator for the status of access to local and remote databases on your system from your terminal. Check with the database administrator for a particular database to determine whether you have permission to access it.
