    VS 2005 Connections

    Hello, In VS 2003 you more or less manually opened, closed all of your connections. In VS 2005 (going with the very basic idea of dragging a dataset from the Data Source tab onto a blank new form) I didn’t have to manually open the connection, and the connection is there for my data source…...

    JET pulling All Data from SQL Sever in a Query

    I found an article on the internet on how to stop this, but for the life of me I can't remember it or find it. The article stated that even though you were limiting your returned set of data from SQL Server by using a 'Where' clause etc. JET still pulled all of the data. The solution has to...

    Clustered Indexes

    The following information is from this site: http://www.sql-server-performance.com/clustered_indexes.asp As a rule of thumb, every table should have a clustered index.

    Indexes

    Non Clustered Indexes There is not a whole lot of information on creating / using Indexes for Access. I believe Access does not have clustered indexes (A clustered index physically orders the data in a table based on a single or composite column - I don’t think ‘Autonumber’ would apply) and...
