Is the Access database ok for a production site?

0

Microsoft Access has come a long way in making it itself a stable database for light-weight applications. It’s a good starting point, but the truth is that Access cannot handle more than 25 or so simultaneous transactions. That is actually not bad for a small web site. However, if your site gets busy you will need to think about moving to something more robust. Access when pushed past its limit can crash in some ugly ways. We realize that Access may not be the best solution for all sites, and for this reason we provide free database creation scripts for supported enterprise-level databases. See the Server Requirements for individual Cartweaver versions to see which databases are supported.
