I have a product that made use of MS-Access as the database. MS-Access tends to have major problems as soon as the datbase moves into the giga bytes and if more than 5 users access the database and this force me to move to a proper RDBMS. I then moved the data to SAPDB running on Linux (tested it also with SAPDB running on Win environment) and changed the VB program to make use of SAPDB instead of MS-Access. I had NO PROBLEMS at all in moving to SAPDB (not even with the ODBC). In moving the data I accessed the SAPDB database directly via ODBC from Access and uploaded all of the data with no problem at all. My clients are extremely happy about the move (speed improvements etc), and I will definately make use of SAPDB for all my future projects and can recommend it as a stable environment. > > Please fix those anoying bugs.
