This is also simply not true. It is multi-user capable, and can use
files from a network share,
Network share is more of a hack than 'network-capable'. I read
"network-capable" as across networks (TCP/IP or whatever) and not just
local networks.
but it's all done in the client, using file locking.
This means a 1000 clients connecting and working on the same database
is going to wreck havoc. I think this is what is meant by it doesn't
scale. 10 clients might work fine, 30 might still work, but 100's or
1000's on client connections in not going to cope.
But then to be fair, a lot also depends on how the program was
written. I have seen Delphi apps connecting to MS SQL Server and over
30 connections, the Delphi app couldn't cope.
