How large can a database be?
As it stands, i'm fixing to make a database with 3 tables, a "record" table
which will hold one entry for each record.
there's a "data table" which will hold points of data for each record
(maybe 900 entrys for each record and there could be at least 15 fields in
this table)
and the third table is a "scheduel" table with at most 13 records for each
entry with 9 fields in this table.
There are about 60 entries per day, with data and scheduels, 6 days a week
kept on hand for say 30 days.
so there will be quite a few entries. Now, the main table will have a Key
linked to the other 2 tables. and i'll be running my forms/reports off of
queries.
now, will access be able to handle this much data in a single table? i made
a DB before, but each "record" had seperate data tables and it worked out
(although programming was a PITA, thus my 3 table approach.
any suggestions?
