[AccessD] MDB on the web

Thanks Shamil... I will take all information on this subject I can get. The
client has given me very tight time-frame so there is no time to test and
guess... the first choice has to be right.

Jim

Hi Jim,

Yes, MS SQL is a good modern alternative but if you use MS Access and if
there is no that much workload on Web Server MS Access mdb could be good
enough...

...AFAIK ASP.NET 2.0 runtime by default has just 12 worker threads for one
web app, and it's an easy task to serialize code execution of critical code
paths...

...I personally do use MS SQL with Web apps but for small/not heavy loaded
web apps MS Access backend should work well I'd expect...

Hi Shamil:

I will try and convince the client to go MS SQL... speed, reliability and
features.

Hi Jim,

If:

- your (client's) mdb is local to the web app and
- you develop ASP.NET 2.0 web apps

Then you can use relative references to MS Access mdb within .aspx web pages
like that:

<asp:AccessDataSource 
    DataFile="~\App_Data\nw.mdb" 
...
