    Need your advice

    Hello forum
    I come to seek your advice for the links of the tables of my data base. I have a synthesis table with the Mle field as the primary key. And the other tables have a field combination that is used as the primary key, including the Mle field. I would like to link all my tables to the synthesis table. What advice do you give me to optimize my data base?
    Nb: I have 40 tables to link to the synthesis table. And there is the limit of the indexes. How can I proceed? Thank you in advance for your advice.

    It seems you only need 1 formation table,not 40.
    add a field to make the distinction, like [Version].

    Hi ranman
    It's just a exemple to show the problem. On real data base, i can't reduce the number of tables

    That makes no sense. You can run a make table query and consolidate.

    At first glance you appear to be applying Excel methodology to a database. As Ranman suggests, combine the 40 tables into 1 and include an additional field to indicate whatever the reason for the 40 tables.

    Other suggestions, include a proper PK for the table (autonumber) and include a multi field index for your 3 fields with the allow duplicates constraint set to No.

    Otherwise you need to provide more information.

    Agree with the above.Also "Need your advice" is not helpful as a thread title. I mean, everyone here needs advice. Try to give a title that gives an idea of the topic.

    Further to other responses you have received, your post is confusing in that it lacks details and your structure seems redundant/not normalized. It would be helpful to readers and to you if you could provide a simple description of your business and a few examples of formulations and synthesis.
    When you say
    It's just a exemple to show the problem
    and readers find it confusing, then perhaps it isn't the best example to highlight/communicate the real requirement.
    Good luck with your project.

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