    Reaching 2GB limit

    What to do when you reach 2GB limit data? Can I make another database with the same structure and link them together?


    The front-end is okay, but only the back-end.

    For example,

    Database 1(reaching 2gb limit)
    ID, Name, Address...


    Can I add a database called Database 2
    and then have the same fields and tables, and combining them?
    ID, Name, Address...

    Have you run Compact & Repair on the backend?

    Splitting up the backend is one solution. Is there more than one table?

    I've never had to do this but I think it would be better not to split tables. Depends if autonumber is used in PK/FK relations.

    Another might be migrating to different app for the backend, like MySQL.

    I mean I want to split them horizontally.

    Split the fields to multiple tables?

    Need a PK/FK relationship.

    Is the PK an autonumber field?
