I wil be going with crystaltech myself their prices are good and they have a plan for 50US that gives 450mb with mssql 2000

 

And their bandwidth seems to be good as well.

I do compact and repair the database it dosen't decrease in size.  I guess I will have to look for another host.

Presumably you do compact , but, if not, this could save you a high %

It seems intermedia charge $50 extra / month for MSSQL for only 10MB so not sure you could save anyway

Plus I think you may not find converting to SQL quite as easy as Byron suggests

I also suggest you check out alternative hosts as there are plenty of options out there

Access does not "purge" itself automatically.  You may try downloading the database, doing a "Compact" and then uploading it again.  That will make it smaller if you have a bunch of deleted records hanging around.

Hello All,

 

I have  problem with a simple website that I have that uses (I know, I know) Access as a database.  What started out being a 20 - 30 mb file has now somehow grow to 200 mb and is growing.  My shared hosting provider charges a lot of money for disk space.  Would converting the file to MSSQL 2000 save me diskspace? 

 

If so, I am not familiar with MSSQL is there a tool that will easily convert my database to MSSQL so that I can upload it.

 

Thanks

 

Mike
