SQLBase Server for Windows is the retail version of SQLBase for multi-user servers on Windows. Windows programs can be either application programs or service programs. In earlier versions of SQLBase, the server ran as an application program, requiring the user to log onto Windows before starting SQLBase. This results in SQLBase terminating when the user logs off.
Windows service programs run independently of the user, and are unaffected by users logging on and off the Windows machine. They do not require the user to log onto the Windows machine prior to starting, and can start either automatically or on demand. If started automatically, they begin their execution during Windows initialization.
Running SQLBase Server as a Windows service program offers the following advantages:
- A user need not be logged on to the system for SQLBase to start.
- Security is enhanced, preventing unauthorized tampering or termination.
