QuestionNeed some opinions from experienced desktop application developers Pin
Stan Moong5-Oct-11 18:20

I would like to hear some opinions from experienced developers who have worked with Access and SQL Server Express.

I am thinking of building a desktop based room reservation system as a personal project. However, I am not sure what would be the best approach.

I am thinking of the following options:

1) Using MS Access for both the front-end and back-end.

2) Using C# for front-end and MS Access as back-end.

3) Using C# for front-end and MS SQL Server Express as back-end.

It would be a packaged software, so I'm wondering if MS Access would be stable enough.

I haven't worked with MS Access long enough, so I would like to find out from other experienced developers whether MS Access backend would be sufficient, and what are some of the recommended steps to take to prevent database corruption - maybe backup, compact and repair every time program closes; what else?

Thank you.
