>>Is it always necessary to use Server database like SQL Server/Oracle or we can use foxpro dbf's with Terminal Server/Citrix ?

>All combinations are possible - and actually, DBF may be faster for some border cases - there's no extra memory requirement for running the SQL service on the same machine (or, no bandwidth issues if it's on another machine), the tables are local for every user, the same disk is cached on the same machine for everybody... Several benefits that usually apply to local processing only apply to Citrix/TS because the access actually IS local.

>If good processing speed AND high volume are required, maybe a small server farm, with one strong server to host SQL, and a few Citrix servers (one, two or whatever you need), with a separate high speed network connection between the servers and then a normal speed connection to whichever way the workstations connect - that may work. The benefit is that workstations can be cheap machines without much software installed on them.
