DBMS Server
The Ingres client-server architecture allows multiple users access to databases through connections to one or more DBMS Server processes. The DBMS Server (iidbms) is a multi-threaded daemon process that performs asynchronous disk input and output. The number of users connected to a server is limited by hardware or the operating system.
Some elements of the DBMS Server are described as facilities (see DBMS Server Facilities).
