The Mimer Data Provider is used to gain access to Mimer SQL database servers. The mechanism for doing this, is by specifying a ConnectionString for the MimerConnection object. The connection string contains infomation about which database to access and information where this database is located. To access a database on anothor node you specify a protocol=tcp or protocol=NamedPipes and the name of the node: node=NetworkNodeName. To acces a database on the local node you specify protocol=local. When the connection string is complete you call the Open method.
To send SQL commands to the database server the MimerCommand class is used. If the SQL statement is a SELECT statement the MimerDataReader is used to retrieve the data from the server. A MimerDataReader is created by calling the ExecuteReader method on the MimerCommand object.
When processing is complete a connection is closed by the calling MimerConnection.Close method.
