+modes</title><shortdesc>Describes the access modes supported by a database.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>A named database supports three access modes:</p>
+<ul>
+<li id="GUID-BFF0FE8F-FCA1-57E4-BA1B-EB6B26955067"><p>Exclusive read/write
+access</p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-81273D9E-7999-5C7D-A8F9-5F13C8DE5A5A"><p>Shared read-only access</p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-F04D5329-85C3-551A-8A32-26E6170CA69D"><p>Shared read/write access</p> </li>
+</ul>
+<p>The first two access modes are implemented through a file server session
+which provides the necessary file access modes while shared read/write access
+must be done through the DBMS server.</p>
+<p>Creating a database through the <codeph>Create()</codeph> and <codeph>Replace()</codeph> member
+functions of <codeph>RDbNamedDatabase</codeph>, initiates client-side access
+to the database and does not require a connection to the DBMS server.</p>
+<p><codeph>RDbNamedDatabase</codeph> offers two <codeph>Open()</codeph> functions,
+one for client-side access and the other for client-server access. Client-side
+access is preferred over client-server access as data retrieval is faster
+than indirecting via the DBMS server.</p>
