Follow these guidelines to determine where OpenDB should
be installed on the network.
OpenDB must be installed on a computer running Windows.
If both D3 and the ODBC database are running on a computer
running a Windows operating system, install OpenDB on the computer
running the ODBC database.
If the ODBC database is running on a UNIX or Linux operating
system, and the D3 database is running on Windows, install OpenDB
on the computer running the D3 database.
If both D3 and the ODBC database are not running on a computer
running a Windows operating system, install OpenDB on any computer
running Windows on the network.
