Using Pervasive.SQL
Using the Fast User Switching Feature of Windows XP
Fast user switching is a feature of Windows XP Home Edition and
Windows XP Professional that allows you to switch between users
without logging off from the computer. Multiple users can share a
computer, switching back and forth among users without closing the
programs each user is running. The users are all local to the
computer, not logged in via a network. Only one user at a time can
use the computer interactively.
(The Pervasive.SQL Server engine is not supported on Windows XP
Professional or Home Edition. This support will be available when
Windows XP Server is released. )
As of this release of Pervasive.SQL, the following Microsoft
restrictions apply when fast user switching is turned on. These are
restrictions of the operating system.

The computer cannot be logged on to a network domain.
The Microsoft Client for Netware cannot be installed.
The Novell Client for Netware cannot be installed.
The Serial Keys accessibility feature will not work.
Offline files, such as Windows XP Offline Documentation, must
be disabled.
Fast user switching allows only two types of users, classified as
administrators or limited. Only administrators can turn on or turn
off fast user switching.
Windows XP Professional allows two modes of operation, local and
remote desktop. Remote desktop uses an XP client to access an XP
machine from a remote computer. In many respects, the remote
desktop feature is similar to terminal services under Windows NT or
Windows 2000.
(You may also use a Pervasive.SQL client on an XP machine to
communicate with a Pervasive.SQL Server engine across a network.
The client functions the same as it does on any other Windows
platform supported by Pervasive.SQL.)
