Interfaces 
Use
You can use interfaces to access functions of the database system using different programming languages and applications. Using interfaces you can, for example, program additional functions or connect applications to a MaxDB database instance.
The interfaces are
included in the MaxDB software. See the Download section
and the 
Installation
Manual for information on where to find the MaxDB software and how to
install it.
