Reference 159

causes XStudio to function as a database server. The other method is to use a separate stand-alone

database server application, which implements a client/server relationship between XStudio and the

database and makes the database available to other utility applications as well.

If you set up XStudio to operate using a remote client/server database model,

the local database is not used and any settings applicable to the local database,

including allowing remote access, are disabled.

Database Sharing by Allowing Other Applications to Connect to XStudio

The easiest and most convenient method of sharing database information with another application is to

enable the Allow Remote Administration property in XStudio. Essentially, XStudio becomes a database

server in addition to its other duties.

When XStudio is functioning as a database server, other utility applications designed for use with

XStudio can connect to and view or modify the database depending on the utility application. The utility

might be run on the same PC or might be connecting from some other PC. Consult the utility

application software documentation for details on how to access the database hosted by XStudio.

Database Sharing Using the Client/Server Model

To implement database sharing using the traditional client/server model, you need to install and

configure a stand-alone database server application, typically on a PC other than the one running

XStudio. Once the database server application is running successfully, you need to modify the XStudio

database properties to have XStudio use the remote database server. For additional information on

using the client/server model, see the topic on Using a Remote Database.

The necessary stand-alone database server software for implementing a

centralized database is not included in the XStudio installation package. If you

wish to use a centralized database, contact your vendor for information on

obtaining the database server software, along with its requirements for use.

Effects of Database Sharing

Sharing of the XStudio database has minimal effects on the operation of XStudio and users need not

change how they do things when working with XStudio. There are some possible side effects of

database sharing to be aware of, though.

Performance

Performance of XStudio can be affected when the database is shared, in the following ways:

1. If XStudio is functioning as a database server in addition to its other duties, application

response time could be a bit slower if one or more utility applications are connected and

performing database-intensive tasks. This occurs because XStudio has to divide its

attention between normal operations and serving the database requests of connected client

applications.

2. If XStudio is connecting to a remote database server and network (LAN) traffic is extremely

high, application response time could be slower as a result of the the high network traffic

impeding retrieval of data from the database server.
