Subject Embedded Server. A good option?
Author Luis Rocha
Hi,

I have a system where 95% of the users work on a standalone basis, with no network. The other 5% work on a multiuser network environment.
For many reasons we chose Firebird, but we're in doubt about wether using the Embedded Server for this 95% is the best choice. We are attracted by the easiness of the ES' installation, as we have many users all along Brazil that have little or even no computer skills. The less they have to interfere in the instalation process, the better it will be for us.
We are planning to develop two versions: a stand-alone, with ES, and a multiuser, with Super Server, so we can concentrate tech support on these 5% multiuser clients.
I have two questions:
- Is this reasonable? Am I missing any important point?
- If afterwards a stand-alone user wants to migrate to a multiuser environment, do I just have to remove the ES files and install the Super Server?

That's it.
Thanks in advance,
Luis Rocha
