REAL SQL Database --the database that is built into REALbasic-- is a local, single user database. It was never intended for multiple concurrent users. If you have a REAL SQL Database you would like to have multiple people access concurrently, you should to use REAL SQL Server. REAL SQL Server is based on the same database engine as REAL SQL Database and uses the same file format. And you use the same database API to access either database. Because of these similarities you can convert a REALbasic application from single user to multiuser with relatively little effort.

REAL SQL Server scales up to 100s of concurrent users but it's not unusual for someone to use to it to share data among just 3 or 4 people. That's why we have a version that supports five concurrent connections. -- Matt Quagliana REAL Software, Inc. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
