STATICDB limits structural changes to the database, and activates a read-only schema mode. When STATICDB is ON, permanent changes cannot be made to the database structure (table and column names, for example). New tables can be created, but they are temporary and visible only to the user who created them. By restricting changes to the database structure, R:BASE does not continually re-read the structure to check for changes. Multi-user applications run faster. All users connected to a multi-user database must have the same setting for STATICDB the default is OFF.
