No. You need to install the Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge Server on a machine where there is an ODBC driver for your database. In some cases, you might not have access to the database server machine. If so, you can install the ODBC-ODBC Bridge Server on another machine where there is an ODBC driver for your database, as long as that ODBC driver can communicate with the database server.

You may also want to do this if you have a firewall between client machines and database server that only allows connections to the database server port.

For some database servers, it is sometimes more efficient to install the ODBC-ODBC Bridge Server on another machine. This can sometimes be the case with Microsoft SQL Server. This database often runs with higher priority meaning an ODBC-ODBC Bridge Server running on the same machine does not get a fair share of the CPU resources.
