I hope everyone's New Year is off to a good start!
I need to provide a backup solution for a customer for his website's SQL
database. He says his people can't handle using ftp to download the
files to the desktop. Not that FTP would help for an SQL database, but
this gives you an idea of the situation.
I wrote a VB application that uses inet to connect to the SQL database,
and copies the data one record at a time to Access databases on the
desktop (after first emptying them). This works fine except some
records seems to have funky data that causes errors, and the files take
forever to download. My customer wants to do a daily download, but it
looks like it will take most of a day to do the download! The tables
are pretty big!
I s this the best way to do this? My customer would prefer a webpage
that does the download, but I've never tried to copy anything to a
customer's computer from the web, and wouldn't this still require
copying the records into an Access database, this time on the server?
Thanks,
Diane
