The DAS server allows JDBC or .NET clients to access Vector databases. When connecting through the DAS server, higher throughput can be achieved by connecting to a local DAS server and specifying a remote server as a vnode. In this case, start a DAS server on the local machine, define a vnode for the remote instance, connect to the local DAS server and specify the database as vnodeName::databaseName. Defining the connection in this way routes traffic through the local DAS server to the remote DAS server using a faster data transmission protocol than connecting directly to the remote DAS server.
