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.
