    Two BE, one with data and the other to save the data

    Good afternoon

    I would like to clarify a doubt.
    If I have an App with BE and FE.
    Where the tables are in BE.
    However, the information takes up space in this BE.
    I thought about saving in another BE, calling it BE2.
    The connection is not difficult.
    The question would be two:
    1) how to protect the system?
    2) madness? Or valid? What opinion?

    Thanks.

    Mylton,

    a)What exactly is your concern?
    b)What exactly is the purpose and content of BE2?

    c)Have you considered a BACKUP STRATEGY ---daily/weekly/monthly... or some (automated) frequency?

    You have hit 2GB limit in backend? Even after Compact & Repair?

    SQLServer Express has 10GB limit and is free.

    MySQL (an Oracle product) is also free and might allow larger file size.

    I was able to setup SQLServer Express but failed with MySQL.

    That will be a nightmare to make sure you have the new records saved to BE2. Plus what happens when both get filled up, you create a BE3? As other said, best to get SQL if you can. Also what is causing the data to fill up fast? If you are saving images, you can save those in a network folder and just have a link to them, etc.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
