I'm developing a Access DB which will replace Quickbooks for about 60
customers. This involves about 36,000 - 40,000 trasaction per year.
Is there a limit to the number of records (rows) that a table can
include? Is this good practice? Anyone done something like this
before and how did it work?

Unless you are proposing to include images or other external objects
(.xls, .doc file for example) in your data fields then you have no
problems.
Make sure you index any fields used for searching.
There is no limit on record numbers. Your mdb cannot be more than 2Gb for
A2000 onwards, although it's not a good idea to start out somewhere near
this limit. But I would hazard a guess that you'll be within 10Mb which
is no big deal.

Just 2 more cents worth... and to confirm from first-hand experience
Built an app that grew and grew - to 440,000 plus Inventory
Transaction records yearly. Bill of Material record count 380,000
active on average. File Size runs in the 100MB neighbourhood
No issues - 6 years running, not a byte of data lost.
Front-end/Back-end with NIGHTLY network backups, typ 20+ users.
A couple of thoughts from the BTDT (Been-There-Done-That)School:
- Archive Annually, use a rolling 6 month active history for instant
access
- Really scrutinize the size of EVERY field as you build...
the effects on file size are quite amazing as time goes by
- Good Indexes on this huge Bill of Material Table continue
to be lightning fast
ie. Literally, you blink, and it's on display (100 Mbps Fiber LAN)
- Lastly, beware the naughty integer that you learned about... this one crept up on me from an innocent, well-hidden,
"early days" counter field
32,768 is not a happy place...
Have Fun!

I've heard of databases here with upwards of 500,000. The only
problem with keeping lots of records in one table is that querying may
slow. So make sure you index properly.

Ok, what I want to do is find out the number of rows in a table. The most
obvious solution is to do something like the following:
$sql = "SELECT blah FROM blah WHERE 1";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $db);
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);
If you have a large table, to me that seems like it would be a system hog if
all you want is the number of rows but not the data. I'm not sure if using
mysql_unbuffered_query() would solve this, would...

Hello,
I would like to know whether having a <table> element with two <tr> elements
each containing one <td> elements and two <td> elements, respectively, is
legal from the point of view of standard W3C HTML/XHTML. In particular,
is it legal for table rows to contain differing number of columns,
even when the colspan attribute is not used?
Thanks,

Hey all -
I'm trying to implement a basic log in a table. Instead of writing to a text
file on the server, I want to insert entries into a 'log' table. However, I
want to limit this table to only have the last 500 rows or so. How do I do
this?
Here's my pseudocode, but it seems as if there would be a better way:

I'm implementing paging through search results using cursors. Is there a
better way to know total number of rows under a cursor than running a
separate COUNT(*) query? I think PostgreSQL is bound to know this number
after the first FETCH, isn't it?
On a side note, why queries using LIMIT are SO terribly slow, compared to
cursors and sometimes even ones without LIMIT? Shouldn't LIMIT be internally
implemented using cursor mechanism then?...

I imported some table (about 1500 records) using "LOAD DATA LOCAL

However, in MySQL Administrator UI tool I see completely different
