A server is a database--on a server. The client is: a person on a PC connected to the server via odbc querying the database.

A database is only an app on the server. You can have a domain controller, a mail server, a nat server, Web Hosting... doesnt matter whats on it. And the client wouldn't really be person, a person is referred to as a user. A client is generally the computer. So what is client server networking? Its when you have perhaps 4 clients all using the server for something. The server kinda being like a master. But usually most clients will look to the server for their network settings (DHCP), and perhaps NAT etc..... But like the above person mentioned you can have database's on your server. But your not just limited to database's, you can have mail server's, web servers, app server etc....
