Hello - The HP Image/SQL database includes an ODBC driver called ODBCLink/SE
you can find the information on getting it from the hp web site at:

http://jazz.external.hp.com/papers/odbc/index.html

There is also a tutorial on Image/SQL at ...

http://jazz.external.hp.com/training/sqltables/main.html

which will give you an idea of how Image/SQL relates to Turbo Image.

If you want more than JUST A DRIVER because you need access to MPE, KSAM, Image
directly, or Oracle data bases - or plan on joining the HP3000 with SQL7 or
Oracle data bases on an NT server or to join data on an HP9000 you should look
at DataExpress - see http://WWW.MBFoster.com for more details and a lst of our
European Partners.

DataExpress also allows batch extraction of data which can be very useful if
you have a large number of records to read and your users don't wish to tie up
their PC. After the batch job is finished the file can be FTPd to the user or
can be generated in a self-describing file format for later access from ODBC
enabled desktops.

Data extraction can use self describing files such as DataExpress, Cognos
Powerhouse subfiles, Robelle SuprTool self-describing files and Query SD as
data sources including for ODBC and beyond.

The objective behind DataExpress is to provide a complete data access solution.
From whatever desktop the user has - we support 16bit, 32bit PCs as well
terminal access (the folks on the loading dock need access but don't have PCs).
We have extended our client server access to allow ActiveX data objects (ADO),
Active Server Pages (ASP) as well as RDO and DAO to work on HP3000 data
transparently. The next generation of ODBCLink is called UDALink.COM - standing
for Universal Data Access, which will be the theme of the data access market in
2000.

You will find DataExpress easy to work with and well designed, providing a
complete solution to the HP3000 market.
