DATABASE INTEGRATOR system requirements:

DATABASE INTEGRATOR software accesses the DBMS through its own networking module (e.g., Oracle's SQL *Net®). It only requires that the basic DBMS kernel and the networking tools be available from the remote node. All DBMS modules can reside on the server node. The networking implementation of the various DBMSs will dictate whether a remote DBMS connection starts a process on the remote node or on the server.
