What you would need would be a multi-window application, where each
individual is actually working on the same 'internal' database. It would
necessitate a lot of network action, as each users manipulations of the data
would need to IMMEDIATELY appear in all other users virtual database. It
might actually be doable, but would get real interesting as the user count
went up!
If Cadence is interested in doing this, perhaps they could hire some of the
programmers from, e.g., Everquest or one of the other massively multiplayer
games? Now *there's* a difficult "simultaneous access" problem: Even though
the games are split across many servers, there's typically still thousands of
users accessing the same "zone" whereby any changes they make have to be
propagated to everyone else if they're relevant.
Altium sounds like it's one step ahead of ORCAD in that Brad tells us it keeps
listening for file changes even after you've opened a read only copy because
Joe down the hallway is modifiyng the schematic. As far as I can tell, ORCAD
tells you just when you try to open the file that it's read-only or nothing,
and after that it quits listening for file update messages. I'm not
complaining though -- while ORCAD's behavior in this regard is about the
minimum I'd expect, it's also adequate for my uses.
