Abstract
An Application Programming Interface (API) provides interoperability between different monitoring and administrative components of a data warehouse system that utilizes different standard protocols. One of the protocols is the well known data connectivity protocol, Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) that defines a standard interface between applications and data sources. A second one of the protocols is the well known network management protocol, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) that defines a standard interface between an agent component and a network management system. The API provides a facility that enables the different components to access user and connection information maintained by an ODBC server component derived from servicing client system application SQL queries made by system users.
