Hi listers,
In my applications,I use MS Access to store data production and to make reports on the past production. It works correctly when the quantity of data is not too important. I store every day 1000 products and 20 data per product. -> 20000
data per day. When you are in March and you want to interogate the DataBase to get information on January, the time needed is acceptable ( less than 30 s). some requests could be more
complicated than a simple sum. But when it is the end of the year, the same information could take 1 or 2 minutes. (Pentium 200 MHz).
Now, I have applications when the number of products stored is about 20000 products per day with 20 data per product -> 400000 data per day.
I am not sure that Access fits this amount of data. I hesitate to program in C++ the requests. It takes more time than programming a request with Access. Another point is the reporting
of data. Making a formatted printing with C++ is quite difficult. Perhaps I can use software like Crystal reports.
Do you have some experiments with production data exploitation? What kind of tools are efficient with time calculations, quality of reporting and printing and easy to program.?
Thank you.
