Excerpt of article text...

Multi-user databases (also known as database servers) are used with applications that need to concurrently share data with more than one user at a time. When used with REALbasic, they allow you to build 2-tier client/server applications. For the most part, these are not the types of applications you'll find on VersionTracker.
