Database
Oasis Professional edition lets uses on the same network
work together using the same database.
If you want
to have more than one person sharing information in
Database Oasis, you need to have the data stored in a
central location on your network that everyone can
access. For example, you may have three computers that
are able to talk to each other over a network.
Database
Oasis needs to be installed on all three computers, but
the data only needs to be installed on one of them. The
other two computers will be told to use the data on that
first computer. The computer where the data is installed
is called the server. The other computers are called
clients.

Prior to installing Database Oasis, you
decide which computer will be your server and which will
be the clients. When selecting the server, keep in mind
that it needs to be accessible over the network to all
of the client computers, and it should be a computer
that is left on most of the time as the clients will not
be able to access the data when the server is turned
off.
The first time you log into a client, you
will tell it where the data resides. After that point,
there are very few differences between using Database
Oasis on the server versus client installations.
