Well said…I have reviewed your training package and it will provide for me the fundamental training that I do need in enhancing my database development
skills. My training at the university level in database management and design was purely theoritical in structure and design. I will ASAP sign up for the sql training course you advertised.

Annie,

Thank you for getting in touch with us. Microsoft’s training focuses exclusively on Microsoft Tools & platforms and so does Cisco or any other product vendor.
Our training focuses on the job skills. It is neither opposite nor similar to Microsoft’s training … they are focused on two different things.

I would recommend that you choose the training that’s more in alignment with your career goals.

Thanks

Kingsly, I strongly agree that your course will be an excellent choice but how competitive is it among cisco and microsoft trainers on the market today. Is it about brand name courses or the real deal courses (courses that gives you the cutting edge) that matters in the job industry? I am now ready to start my certification in database administration in microsoft access.

building workarounds for MsAccess limitations is not ideal. Migrating to the right database for your needs is a better solution.

Certainly any Access developer without an ability to build relational structures using an enterprise class database is at a distinct disadvantage .

However, there are design methodologies that can be utilized to build databases that can manage much more data than the 2 gb file size limit that a single Access database imposes. Additionally, high performance Access applications can be constructed by using a stateless development approach that avoids entirely the use of directly connected recordsets within the user interface. Such applications can provide very good performance for significantly more than 20 simultaneous connections.

That was a robust, well researched posting on Microsoft Access.

It does sound like you are aware that you can use the Ms Sql server in place of the Jet Database Engine.

I have been told Access starts slowing down with more than 20 connections.

And someone else indicated the Database had some kind of physical size limit, I think it was 2 Gigabytes.

The reason LAN admins don’t like it is it generates a lot of LAN traffic by transmitting all data to the GUI to be processed rather than querying the database and getting a specific answer.

There is also a nice little free command line interface so you can just type SQL at the Jet Database without the Gui at all.
