Hi:
I have an application accesing a MSAccess database in a LAN. The database is 35 MB in size with 40000 records in the main table. I'm using BDE to access the data store in the file. Every time I do a manipulation with the database a huge amount of data is tranfered (18 MB) back and foward between the computer running the application and the computer where the file is stored. I know that all the data is first copied into a local cache of the BDE in order to be processed. Is there a way to restrict the amount of data that the BDE saves in cache (i.e, saving only indexes) everytime you use the Table Active property?
I know that a good solution will be to move to a SQL client/server application, but besides that, is there a way to optimize this to lower the amount of data transfered through the network? I'm running Delphi 5 in Windows 2000.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Alberto
