a elemental question

message from knit on 3 Jun 2004
can I know from you how many records one access database can have? I have
over 10,000 pieces of records, can I use Access to manage these records?

10,000 piece of cake
100,000 no problem
1,000,000 Possible, but if you see it coming before you begin, you may
want to move to a bigger database.

Well ... 1,000,000 is a bit expected less !!!

You're limited to 2 billion bytes in the entire .mdb file.

The largest production Access database of which I am aware has some
50,000,000 records in its largest (of many) table. I'd have moved to
SQL/Server before it got that big but the user seems happy with it.

can have? I have
these records?
so 10 000 records is fine.
