Hi Guys

I have a patient-information database in Access, at the moment, it doesnt exceed 2GB, however, we will be importing a couple million patient records, what is the best way to upsize the database to a backend SQL Server?

Is there a guide i can use that anyone knows of?

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

MS Access has a standard functionality called upsizing. This program puts your Access DB into a SQL Server instance. The Access program will be converted to an Access project.
This tool can also be downloaded at the MS website.

Be alert. This upzising wizard does not convert MS Access functions completely to SQL server you need to check these.

Greetz,

Marcel
