Architecture

The family of SQL based drivers has been re-architected to leverage the PI SQL DAS for query execution. This allows reducing the software being installed on the client to a thin driver that has no local dependency on bigger components such as a query engine and PI SDK or AF SDK. Currently this architecture applies to PI ODBC and PI JDBC. The new driver architecture uses the PI Integrator query engine, amongst others.

PI SQL DAS provides secure network communication through net.tcp or HTTPS to the driver on the client side.
