Are multi-user databases slower than single user databases?
For most operations, multi-user databases are just as fast as single user Panorama databases. Sorting, searching, selecting and analyzing data all take place in RAM on the client computer, and are just as fast as single user databases. Procedures that modify large amounts of data (for example using formula fill or search and replace) will run slower in multi-user mode. In many cases most of this speed can be regained through a few simple programming changes. Back to top.
