Microsoft Access database application lets allow you to create databases to store and through which user can present data in forms and reports as well. When user starts to create database, it may be understandable and trivial, but over time, it became more critical as user adds more data about objects, attributes of objects, and even share it with others. Due to addition of more items, overall design of database becomes critical.
The best way is using
Access database recovery tool to recover Access file if it gets corrupted due to heavy data stored in it. But, before doing so, user can split large size Access database because some while splitting database helps to overcome unwanted problems occurred in MS® Access databases.
Split The Database Into Front-End/Back-End Databases
Splitting a database into two or more small sized database is a comparatively simple concept. Through this being a user you can take an existing Access file into MDB/ACCDB format with its ‘tables’, ‘queries’, ‘forms’, ‘reports’, ‘macros’, ‘modules’, etc. for dividing it into two databases:
- The “Back-End” database that only contains the tables
- The “Front-End” database that contains everything except the tables and it also linked to the tables in the back-end database
Such designs are important in multi-user environments where the back-end database is usually stored on a network containing shared data. In such environments, each user has a copy of the front-end database on desktop indicating to the shared database. Many more advantages are there of multi-user environment.
Reasons to Split An Access Database
- Automatic updation of database
- Updation in software applications
- Enhancement in network performance
- Reduction in network traffic
- Avoid collision of multiple tables
- Provision for extending size of database files
Manual Method to Split Microsoft Access Database
- Copy the database
- Delete all non-usable objects
- Delete all linked tables to front end
- Or, use Access Database Splitter Wizard
- Go to database tools from Access Ribbon
- Click to split database option
Main drawback of this operation is it cannot be performed by user who does not familiar with Access completely. If anyone performs this operation without having complete knowledge of Access then, user can face data loss situation. Better way to use advanced
Access database recovery tool for complete recovery of damaged Access databases. Access Recovery software of our organization is also helpful to recover corrupt MDB and ACCDB files without updating original rules, attributes, views, rows etc.
