There are two approaches to implement client/server architecture. In the first approach, the user interface and application programs are placed on the client side and the database system on the server side. This architecture is called two-tier architecture. The application programs that reside at the client side invoke the DBMS at the server side. The application program interface standards like Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) and Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) are used for interaction between the client and the server. Figure below shows two-tier architecture.
