In demo mode, Invantive UniversalSQL Server allows connections by the demo user, as defined in [[Demo Configuration]]. ## Selection Criteria Demo mode is typically used by data professionals to quickly set up a testing ground to experience Invantive UniversalSQL Server before deploying in local (on-premises) mode. ## Available Databases Demo mode is a specialized variant of the [[Local Mode]], which makes only a single "Sample database" available, based on the Dummy provider. ## User Security Demo mode is limited in terms of user security, since authentication is done by a single user, whose credentials are visible in the configuration file. This requires hardening of the deployment platform, depending on the local requirements.
