this is what connectivity to an image database looks like in picture
     form (OVER SIMPLIFIED!!). Maybe that's easier to understand:

We have an Image database containing all the Service Request
(i.e. "bug") reports on MPE/iX.  I use ODBC to filter the SRs
by a particular list and to bring information about each SR
into an Excel spreadsheet -- there, I can quickly sort, run
pivot tables, summarize, format, & print.
