Default Questions on SQL Server

I do understand confidentiality ... does that extend to the type of data, or
just the data itself?

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your response. I am sorry for the delay in responding to your
message.

Due to confidentiality of the data that I am working on, unfortunately, I
can not share that information with you. I hope you understand.

Thanks.

Many of the responders have asked, but I've not seen your response yet.

WHAT data are you storing? Is this a database that contains truck parts,
.... or geographic/topological features, ... or pictures of zoo animals,
...
or ???

The reason I'm asking (and I assume others are) is because "HOW" depends
on
"WHAT", and I still don't have a clear picture of what you are working
on.

More info, please...

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.

Default 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.

Default Questions on SQL Server

I should have been more explicit ...

Are we talking about elephants, medical patients, auto parts, or
geographical locations?
