How big is too big?



I running an access database and using the JET driver but I've been told its slow and sucks for larger databases or databases that get a lot of traffic. But my question is when is too big and when should I update to a better database.



My page doesn't get more than maybe 10 people connected simultaniously. Should I upgrade after 1,000 maybe 10,000 records?



Any help would be great. Thanks

For the most part, it's the number of simultaneous connections that is the limiting factor not the db size, and the problem is not really Access but rather the single-threaded Access ADO drivers that eat too many server resources.



10+ simultaneous users is a good rule-of-thumb point to start considering an alternative.
