I am an Access Developer. Sometimes an application is larger than what Access can easily accommodate. I'm just wondering how simple it really is to use SQL Server (Express or the Developer Edition) as the back-end instead of Access. I have
used SQL Server in the past and though I am not a database administrator, I can at least get around and create tables etc., via Management Studio. I would like to avoid as much complexity as possible. Don't really want to get into stored procedures
etc. I noticed Mike that you are an Access developer. Is is possible to use SQL Server as the back-end as easily (or roughly so) as an Access database?
What is the file size limit to Express? Is it 4 GB or 10 GB? Is there a real advantage to having the developer edition instead. Is this a good time to wait for SQL Server 2014?
Thank you
