I wonder how big the Slackertalk database would be if I ported it to Access ...

Posted by Beryllium (aka grayman) Oct 15 '10, 13:44

It's about 500MB to 750MB right now if I export it into a raw .SQL file (with insert commands).

Responses:

fwiw, my larger access files reference data files from within sql. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 15, 13:45 16
- from within MS SQL Server, you mean? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 13:49 6
  - ODBC link from Access to the data in SQL. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 15, 13:50 5
    - the odbc link is probably to table(s) within a MS SQL Database, then. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 15, 13:53
    - (I'm just trying to get you to call it by its proper name, SQL Server, that's all :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 13:53 3
      - I WILL NOT CONFORM TO YOUR RULES!!!!! - groiny Oct 15, 13:54 2
        
        (It would also sound better in an interview if you know what database you're connecting to...) - JaxSean Oct 15, 14:00 1
        
        *punches jax in the ovaries* - groiny Oct 15, 14:05
- I tolerate Access as a frontend to SQL. I hate it as a standalone database app -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 15, 13:46 8
  - agreed. for small database files, it is fine. if you are talking 25000 lines of data - groiny Oct 15, 13:47 7
    - I love when you boys talk databases. -- nm - chromanda Oct 15, 13:50 6
      - injects some SQL into your query - kilbooooo Oct 15, 13:51 4
        
        not too sexy. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 15, 13:52 3
        
        "No, senor! Too sexy!!" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 13:52
        
        It's a little classier than licking puss though -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 15, 13:52 1
        
        who wants to lick a floppy disk? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 15, 13:55
      - you should see me lick puss. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 15, 13:51
