[AccessD] SQL Speed

Hello All,

I am involved in a project that will be web based.  The database will either 
be access or SQL Server.

The question is:  I need to run a bunch (maybe 10K) of SQL statements 
againts a single table...or flat file, whatever is best, containing about 4K 
rows.  The results of each will be appended to a second table, or emailed 
instantly (ahh...idea...good place for a JC style Class).  The SQL 
statements themselves will be stored in a table.

Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions about approach?  I will need ALL of 
the SQLs to run in less than 5 minutes.  I know 1 runs in a fraction of a 
second...I just don't know what that fraction is to calculate time needed.

Being there are so few rows involved...but so many SQL statements...and 
speed is an issue...will there be a signicant advantage using SQL Server or 
Access?

I'm thinking of having the SQLs in a table and looping through and executing 
each...I just don't know if this is the best approach?

Thanks,

Mark A. Matte
