Connection Modes

A database is connected in one of three connection modes:

When you connect to a database with a Progress multi-user startup command, each database you specify on the command line is connected in the default multi-user mode. Each database you specify in a startup file or in a CONNECT statement in an application is also connected in the default multi-user mode for the current machine.

The first database specified after the Progress single-user or Progress single-user batch command is connected in single-user mode by default. Any additional databases specified with the Database Name (-db) connection parameter are connected in the default multi-user mode for the system. Use the Single-user Mode (-1) startup parameter to override the default multi-user connection mode for a database and connect to the database in single-user mode.

For more information about the Host Name (-H), Service Name (-S), Database Name (-db), and Single-user Mode (-1) startup parameters, see the Progress Startup Command and Parameter Reference.
