Hi Craig A webshare is a pooling license. It allows multiple queries against 1 UniVerse User. The number of users that can use a webshare are dependant on performance of the application, ie it could be 5 to 1000. You purchase the number of webshares required to achieve an acceptable level of performance for the number of hits you will have against the database. It is not user count dependent.
RedBack does more than provide a pooling mechanism it also handles scheduling, performance monitoring, status and other facilities one would require for a pooling application which is all included in the price. With an SQL Server application, one would have to add that functionality into the design of the client server application which RedBack looks after for the developer.
