Hi,

A database server is the Oracle software managing a database, and a client is an application that requests information from a server. Each computer in a network is a node that can host one or more databases. Each node in a distributed database system can act as a client, a server, or both, depending on the situation.

A client can connect directly or indirectly to a database server. A direct connection occurs when a client connects to a server and accesses information from a database contained on that server.

sapserver.cmd is the response files provided by SAP (start of installation via cd:\NT\I386\sapserver.cmd).

Instead of prompting you to select a series of installation options, Universal Installer installs the software using a predefined set of options. These options are stored in an Oracle Universal Installer response file.
