    Database Size

    We have a FE/BE application. The size is outliving Access's capabilities to keep up with the data (we are looking into SQL'ing it) but in the meantime, what if we split the BE side into 2 databases would this give us more room? Pro's/Con's of splitting the BE please.



    Yes we compact/repair it every night.

    Each split will give you 2GB's of additional space with no down side.
