Large Field Size = Larger Overall Database Size?

Aug 29, 2005

Will keeping your field size shorter result in a smaller MDB file?

Or does Access only use as much space as there is real data in its fields.

Way back in the dBASE III days, dBASE would pad all your "real" information with as many spaces as necessary to fill up your field. I suspect that the MDB structure is probably smarter than that.


Another question on the same topic - I believe there is a maximum number of characters in a record (4000?). Can your field sizes add up to more than 4000, as long as the actual data, all combined, never totals 4000...?
Thanks............

View Table Size

Jan 29, 2008

Hi all,
this could well be a bit of a weird request so bare with me.
I would like to view the table size (in KB, not records) and I would have thought the Detail view in the Table tab would take care of this for me (i'm sure it used to, i'm using Access XP now) but I cannot get that particular view column to show. I want to see the file size for both Access tables and SQL tables that are linked in.

Anyone have any ideas ?

Thanks in advance,
Mitch....

Field Lengths Don't Impact Table Size

Sep 28, 2006

I just discovered that field lengths don't influence table size because Access doesn't pad fields.

A text field with length 20 or 255 doesn't impact the size of the table, just the data in the field does.

I did a test to confirm this.

This blew me away.

So now I ask why do we specify field length for text fields?

Emailing A Table Increases File Size

Apr 4, 2006

Hi,

I am trying to send a "EMP" table in an excel format using "SendObject". User clicks the "Send Mail" button to email the table in excel file. The user then clicks on the "Exit" button to exit. This wipes out the data in the table "EMP" as was expected. Every thing goes fine..... but the size of my database increases by more than 100 MB. (Note that the table in the data has been deleted & the data is around 59 MB).

Any suggestions on what could be causing this increase in file size.

Thx in advance,

Jatz

Tables :: Field Size Set To Double - 0.5 Is Input But Table Says 2

Dec 20, 2013

I have a form that utilizes a combo box with 2 options: 0 & 0.5. If I select 0.5 on the combo box the field in the table records it as 2. Why doesn't it reflect as 0.5? And how do I fix it?

This is the general info that I have for the field properties:

Field Size - Double
Decimal Places - 1
Default Value - 0

Is Access 2010 Performance Based On Records In A Table Or File Size

Jun 29, 2014

I have an Access 2010 database .. and will be adding about 25,000 records a day to it. So it will get pretty big fast .. so 9 million a year. Is this too big for Access ?? Or is it more a issue of file size .. I know that Access 2010 can go up to 2 GB. I am interested in how I can maximize my performance and not have the database.The data is as follows .. One table. The other tables will be small, just this one will increase in size really.

Id .. Autonumber (primary key)
When .. datetime
Radio .. integer (indexed .. w duplicates)
Group .. integer (indexed .. w duplicates)
Type .. text 4
TransType .. text 2

I am considering a purge of old records if needed .. like only keeping the most previous 5 million records or some reasonable number. Like .. then I would think I should try to number my records backwards (using long int rather than autonumber and number records backwards on import) .. ie record 1 would be the most recent one and only keep the last X number of them for performance reasons.

Word :: Sizing MS Word Table To Same Size As Recordset

Aug 14, 2014

My end goal is to populate a pre-existing table in an MS Word document with records from a query. The easiest way I've found (through scouring the internet) is to start with the code below (ran during OnClick() even in Access) to get the table the same size as the recordset:

Code:
Dim wDoc As Word.Document
Dim wTable As Word.Table
Dim wCell As Word.Cell
Set wDoc = appWord.Documents.Add(strDocLoc)
wDoc.Visible = True

[Code] ....

The code will shrink the table down just fine if the table has more rows than the recordset +1 (for header column). My hangup with this is the last line ("Selection.InsertRowsBelow 5") isn't executing; rows are not being added to the table. I get no errors -- it just does nothing. I set it as "Selection.InsertRowsBelow 5" arbitrarily just to see if it would even add rows, and sure enough it's not.

MDB Size

May 10, 2007

I'm trying to create an mdb that is well over 2 gig and everytime it gets to 2 gig, I get an Invalid argument statement. Is there any way to bypass this process and create an mdb in excess of 2 gig? I've tried linking tables, queries, etc and I have also compacted and this mdb is simply that big.

Access Size

May 20, 2005

I'm still in design phase but I'm going to have more than 30 tables. I know I'm going to have a pretty good number of forms, queries and reports. Should I start preparing for the worst in case this db gets too big? What kind of techiques can I use to make sure that it still runs quickly enough?

Thanks

Size Matters!

Jun 14, 2005

In the time-honoured fashion of reducing the size of the front end of a db I imported everything into a new db. The size reduced from 32mb to 17mb. Success.

When I change anything, no matter how small, in the new db, it immediately increases in size back to 32mb. I always compact on exit.

This is annoying, rather than a major problem.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a “feature” of Access?
Access 2000 on XP professional.

DB Ballooning In Size!

Apr 4, 2007

Hey guys,

I'm not sure what happened, but my database size has gone from about 60MB to 290MB. I have added about 10 new records and had an AuditTrail function keeping track of history. I had problems with too many entries in this field, so I deleted the field and started fresh. I have also tried to compact and repair the database. Can anyone give me some light on this situation?

Zero Size Mdb Files

Mar 11, 2008

Hi, I am new ( as of today) to this forum. I have been using Access for a few years following on from using Q&A. I manage a database for membership for a club and more recently designed my own database for another personal application. Last weekend I did a full backup on a new laptop I have that has both Access 2003 and 2007 on it ( I don't use the 2007 version at the moment) and following that most of the databases, including backups have gone to zero kb in file size. I tried a system restore to no avail. I can see the files but they are 0kb in size and won't open. Does anyone have any idea why this should happen and more importantly how (if) I can resolve it ?. The laptop has Vista as the O/S.

Kind Regards & greetings from a wet and windy Dublin,

Ian
