Hi,
I have 15 distributed Access 2002 databases that all have the same schema. I
would like to combine all of them into one centralized (read only) database,
mainly for reporting purposes. The distributed databases have multiple
tables, some of which contain 200.000 records or so.
The centralized database would be too big to hold in Access, so I created a
database schema in PostgreSQL and designed append and update queries in an
Access frontend that links to the PostgreSQL backend. Now, I have all the
data in the PostgreSQL backend and can run Access 2002 reports on it without
problems.
The problem is, I would need to “feed†the centralized database from the
distributed databases every two weeks to keep the info updated, and the
append and update queries are very slow (about 20 minutes each). So I wonder,
is there a faster/better way to do this? Any suggestions appreciated!
