SUMMARY

To use Microsoft SQL Server on a Novell NetWare network with Microsoft Windows for Workgroups clients, SQL Server 4.2b is required. This product contains the Microsoft Network Integration Kit that allows SQL Server DB- Library clients (MS-DOS, OS/2, or Windows) and ODBC clients to connect to SQL Server using native SPX connections over NetWare, as opposed to using the Novell named-pipe implementation. The Novell OS/2 requester client software (DOSNP.EXE), a terminate- and-stay-resident (TSR) program that allows use of named pipes with IPX.COM, is no longer required to connect to SQL servers on Novell NetWare networks.
