MUDBOX
(MultiUser DataBase Object Xtra)
is a multiuser xtra that allows developers to seamlessly
use an external database for all of the DBObject functions.
Essentially, MUDBOX replaces Macromedia's DBObject xtra,
but implements all of its methods seamlessly.
There are myriad benefits of using an eternal database.
Speed, flexibility, and scalability are the big adjectives
that always come to mind. If you are concerned about
the speed of the multiuser's local database with many
concurrent users or records, shifting to an external
database model can put your mind at ease. With MUDBOX,
you can use an enterprise-level database
without having to relearn any new lingo. MUDBOX implements
all of the DBObject xtra's features, with some enhancements
as well. To add more scalability, you can even have
multiple multiuser servers, each accessing one database.
This will allow you to exceed the limitations of a single
multiuser configuration, while keeping your data consolidated.
If you have a project that requires multi-user features
as well as external database elements, you can consolidate
all your project data into one database. Currently,
you would need to use two databases and somehow synch
them together. The point is, MUDBOX is a tool that lends
flexibility to use whatever database you want to use
and power to expand the utility of the multiuser server.
