The dbeng7 command starts a personal database server. The
command starts a network database server.
The amount of cache memory available to the database server can be a key
factor in affecting performance. The database server takes an initial amount
of cache memory that is either specified by the -c command-line option or is
a default value. For information on the default cache size, see "–c command-
line option" on page 21.
On Windows NT, Windows 95/98, and UNIX the database server
automatically takes more memory for use in the cache as needed, determined
by a heuristic algorithm

For more information, see "Using the cache to improve performance"
on page 807 of the book ASA User's Guide.
You can use database command-line options to configure the upper limit: see
"–ch command-line option" on page 23. You can force the cache to remain at
its initial amount: see "–ca command-line option" on page 22.
The personal database server has a maximum of ten concurrent connections,
uses at most two CPUs for request processing, and does not support network
client/server connections.
In addition, there are other minor differences, such as the default permission
level that is required to start new databases, or the permissions required to
execute the CHECKPOINT statement.
