Question:
Where are E3 application’s queries executed: in the Viewer or in the Server?
Solution:
This will depend on EnableLocalCreation property’s value.
If EnableLocalCreation property is set as TRUE, the Viewer will try to connect directly to the Database, without going through E3Server/E3Run. If it connects successfully, then it will execute the queries itself.
If EnableLocalCreation property is set as FALSE, the queries will always be executed in E3Run, and the results will be passed to the Viewer via REC protocol.
NOTE: From version 4.6 on, the EnableLocalCreation property has been removed from the DBServer object. Since then, the Viewers have no longer been able to access the database directly, and all access now take place via server.
