Clarification on product specification

http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/compact/sscecomparison.mspx

The above link says the pros and cons of two SQL Server 2005 editions.

Document says Compact Edition is not good for ‘When you need a multi-user database server

’.

What is the meaning of multi-user database?

Does this means the database strictly will not support two database connections at a time?

-Thank you,

Gish

Multi-user means supporting several autonomous clients, like several web servers running against the same database, as SQL Compact is an in-process database engine, this will not work. Several connections are supported, but from the same application on the same machine.
