Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
SQL Development

> ## Multi-threaded architecture

> OpenEdge supports a multi-threaded architecture, which provides multiple paths to a database. A multi-threaded architecture provides specific functionality to a database in the following ways:

> - Each local client or self-serving client can access the database and service its own requests.

> - Each remote client server queues and runs requests for one or more remote clients. The database broker initializes shared memory and either starts a new server for each additional client or set of clients that access the database or attaches additional clients to an existing server.

> - All machines that run operating systems with shared memory can run as multi-threaded, because multiple clients and remote client servers on a network access the database simultaneously using shared memory.
