Hello,

Looking for some stats to compare MS Access with SQL Server Express. Stats to include would be INSERTs per second and complex query retrieval of record sets under 500 records but involving more then 5 table joins.

Also, can someone please let me know if Express utilized multiple cores on a single CPU?

I'm trying to justify an upgrade path from MS Access to SQL Server and the above stats would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Sasha Froyland

no, express is restricted to one, 1gb of memory and 4gb of storage

access is a file system, so everytime you make an update, the file is opened for I/O and then closed, everytime. Multiple transactions will just cause it to overheat quickly.

MSSQL is a RDBMS and optimized for multiple I/O operations
