Oracle back-end MS-Access 2003 client front-end

6
Hello everyone. The company I’m working for is looking to convert my MS database into a Oracle database.
Can anyone tell me the advantages and disadvantages of a Oracle back-end with a MS-Access 2003 client front-end

Thanks

Hi Corey,

This is actually a good and often used combination. If the database is not large in size then Access is sufficient. However, if the data storage is going to exceed a gigabyte in size (records in the millions rather than the thousands then a SQL back end of some description is required. The things you should take note of are that an odbc connection will be required. Also there will be some datatypes available in Oracle that won't have an exact mirror in Access and will be translated. This shouldn't be a problem just something to be aware of.
