MS Access Database Speed Question

64 New Member
Hi There,

I have some questions about ms access database

1. How much data ms access can handle with good speed.
2. Does the size of column affect the speed of ms access database.
(If i keep size as 100 instead of 50 in the Field Size property in design view)
3. If I create a client server application and 10 people work on the same database at the same time, Would it affect the speed of the database
4. Is there any way I can keep a back up of each record deleted. if somebode deletes any record in form the deleted record should be stored in an archived folder.
5. Also In my requirment I want to track each and every activity that users do. For example if somebody changes any textfield in the form his details should be stored in some database.Is there any short cut way to do this.

Please help me with these answers.

Thanks,
Yogesh

You have (accidentally) posted this question in the Access Articles section. This is NOT an article.
I'm moving this to the main Access questions forum.

  1. I don't know - try here (Microsoft Access Specifications)
  2. I believe not. The amount of data may, but only very marginally.
  3. Yes
  4. You can code your project to log all deletions.
  5. No shortcut way that I know of. See answer to point 4, but arrange to log before and after images for each each update.

Hi, Background: I have written a Call Logging and Reporting System using PHP that integrates with an existing MS Access Database. The information in the database is all held in flat tables with no relationships (I don't know why they did this) and the users are currently using VBA forms to enter info into the database, this meant that each time someone wanted to do a report of the call's recorded over the last week that they would...

Hi, I'm a bit confused ... when would I rather write an database application using MS Access and Visual Basic and when (and why) would I rather write it using Visual Studio .Net? Is it as easy in Visual Studio to create reports and labels as it's in Access?` The advantage of VS.net is that not every user needs Access, right? And that would eliminate the Access version problem as well I guess.

Helpful folks, Most of my previous experience with DB2 was on s390 mainframe systems and the optimizer on this platform always seemed very predictable and consistent. Since moving to a WinNT/UDB 7.2 environment, the choices the optimizer makes often seem flaky. But this last example really floored me. I was hoping someone could explain why I get worse response time when the optimizer uses two indexes, than when it uses one. Some context:

Hello, We are in the process of examining our current main application. We have to do some major changes and, in the process, are questionning/validating the use of MS Access as front-end. The application is relatively big: around 200 tables, 200 forms and sub-forms, 150 queries and 150 repports, 5GB of data (SQL Server 2000), 40 users. I'm wondering what are the disadvantages of using Access as front-end? Other that it's not...

To those that have been around Access long enough, I'm sure that insight can be shared as to what aspects of computer processing speed improves its performance. Perhaps in some respects even sufficient to partially offset an inadequate or poor database design. Also, and using Access 97 as a starting point, have there been significant changes/improvements in performance of the later versions of Access? Assuming that a system has adequate...

Hi all, I have an Access db with two large tables - 3,100,000 (tblA) and 7,000 (tblB) records. I created a select query using Inner Join by partial matching two fields (X from tblA and Y from tblB).

Are there ways to improve the speed performance? (Also, would the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
