Re: MS-ACCESS with 180k / month record

If you anticipate 180,000 new records every month, you are adding 2 million
records a year, and could be around 10 million records in 5 years.

If you have the luxury of choosing which way to go, I would suggest you
choose SQL Server--not because JET can't handle it, but because of
stability.

If you already have the database in JET, it would be possible to continue,
but it would not be my choice to intentionally design it on JET for tables
of that size.

You might also make sure your database is designed properly and also
review how long you need to retain the detail records.
