SQL Remote User's Guide
SQL Remote Administration
SQL Remote supports several different systems for exchanging messages. The message systems supported by SQL Remote are:
file Storage of message files in directories on a shared file system for reading by other databases.
ftp Storage of message files in directories accessible by a file transfer protocol (ftp) link.
mapi Microsoft's messaging API (MAPI) link, used in Microsoft Mail and other electronic mail systems.
smtp Internet Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP/POP), used in Internet e-mail.
vim Lotus's Vendor Independent Messaging (VIM), used in Lotus Notes and cc:Mail.
A database can exchange messages using one or more of the available message systems.
Not all message systems are supported on all operating systems for which SQL Remote is available. The links are implemented as DLLs on Windows operating systems.
