I am creating a database with a backend and frontend. The backend consists of a
Products table and many other tables. The products table in an .mdb file by
itself is over 2 meg. I thought about putting the products table in a file by
itself and all the other tables in another file. I anticipate there will be a
need for changes in the other tables and since communication is over the
internet, having the products table in a different file would make a smaller
file to email back and forth. I need to have referential integrity enforced
between the products table and other tables and I also need cascade update and
cascade delete. I linked the products table to the other backend file that
contained all the other tables. I then added the linked products table and the
other tables I needed to relate the products table to to the relationships
window. I then discovered I could create what seemed to be a relationship
between the linked products table and the other tables but could not enforce
referential integrity or set cascade delete or cascade update.
Is there a way to enforce referential integrity between tables in different .mdb
files and set up cascade delete and cascade update between the tables?
Thanks!
