are you trying to use the same embedded server installation for multiple
users where each user is connecting to their own separate database?
OR are you trying to have each user use embedded to connect to the same
database?
If it's the latter, then you'll always fail - it's not going to work ever.
Use the full server. Read the notes.

If it's the former, then tell us what you mean by not working.
