Hi, Tim... and all,

I need to port a my DBISAM 4 (file based) application to EDB C/S for a big installation with a lot of remote users.
There is anyone that have already installed EDB server with many users?
This installation require 150-200 connected users (remote  via internet) with a client that can navigate via "table approach" mixed with "query approach". A Terminal Server architecture is also possible.
Any help, experience, hint, suggestion, configuration, etc. etc....on this ???
(sorry for my english)
Thanks in advance !!!!

I routinely stress-test ElevateDB with 200-300 concurrent sessions rapidly
connecting/disconnecting and it works fine.  In fact, much of the latter
portion of 2.03 was dedicated to improving the concurrency of many sessions
constantly hitting the same EDB Server.

The key is to keep memory usage to a minimum, at least until Delphi has a
64-bit compiler.  That means not keeping hundreds of tables open when only a
few are needed at a given time.  Apart from that, make sure that the disks
in the server are fast (SATA or SCSI).  Apart from that, you should be fine.
