Questions on SQL Server
I do understand confidentiality ... does that extend to the type of data, or
just the data itself? Regards Jeff Boyce Microsoft Access MVP -- Disclaimer: This author may have received products and services mentioned in this post.

"Accesshelp" wrote in message ... Hello all, I am sure this place is a right place to ask questions on SQL Server. I want to create a SQL Server, and I do not know how to get started. I have tried 2003 SQL Server Express, and it did not work for me due to the limit of database size at 4GB. I need a database with at least 100GB capacity. My current plan is to buy a $500 desktop computer for the purpose of hosting the SQL Server. I will have SQL Server as a back-end database and Access as a front-end database. I also may want to access the SQL Server from Access FE in a laptop computer. If you can share with me how I can get started and how much it will cost me, I would be greatly appreciated. . |

Questions on SQL Server
Jeff,
Thank you (and everyone) for understanding and for continuing to help me. There is a table with 5 fields. Of the 5 fields, 3 fields are text fields, and the data of those fields are numbers. The fourth field is an alpha-numeric field, and the fifth field is a date field. In the table, there are over 100 millions records. I hope this information is helpful. Thanks.

Questions on SQL Server
I should have been more explicit ...
Are we talking about elephants, medical patients, auto parts, or geographical locations?
