In the recent R:Base Multi-User Guide, the recommended sequence for Multi-User Concurrency Settings in a startup file, e.g. RBASE.DAT, is:
DISCONNECT
SET MULTI ON
SET STATICDB ON
SET FASTLOCK ON
SET PAGELOCK OFF
SET ROWLOCKS ON
SET VERIFY COLUMN
SET WAIT 4
SET INTERVAL 5

The same settings are found in the .CFG file, e.g. RBENGINEX5E.CFG
MULTI       ON
STATICDB    ON
FASTLOCK    ON
PAGELOCK    OFF
ROWLOCKS    ON
VERIFY      COLUMN
WAIT               4
INTERVAL           5

Is it correct that:
1) the CFG file is processed before the startup DAT file?
2) The order of the commands in the CFG should be the same as in the DAT file? 3) The SET commands in the DAT file are redundant and are not really necessary in the DAT file unless settings need to be changed for special circumstances?

Note that the user Guide states: /"The settings may be set within the R:BASE configuration file. However, the settings are best set in a//
//startup file before connecting to the database. For example: ..."/

Why are the settings best set in a startup file?  Shouldn't default settings be established in the CFG file and modified only if necessary?

TIA,
Doug
