Replication query

[saffron.chapman]

I have a database that gets used by up to 20 people at the same time
(for fundraising calls). Previously, I have just replicated the
database, and given them all their own database. However, i'm guessing
this isn't the best way to do it! Would it be best to split is and give
them all thier own front end, but let them all use the same backend? Or
to replicate the back end as well so they all have both parts?

Thanks

"Database Replication" is actually a method to synchronise data in a
database where some users work "off-line". What you did is not replication
in the context of database terminology.

Much better for each user to have the individual Front-End on his / her
desktop but they all share the data in the same Back-End. This way, you
have ONE repository of data to work on.

Thank you. It seems to be working fine (as long as the callers behave!)
