Hiya,
I realise this could well go against almost every DB rule in the book, but figured I would ask it anyway!
I have a database, which pulls all it's data from other databases - some in SQL, some in Oracle, and some from other Access DBs.
It then combines it all, performs dozens of queries on it, and allows me to produce necessary reports on it - all fine.
I have been asked to make it save historical copies of all the data it uses. The reason for this is the Financial Services Authority, who insist that the checks we are doing on this data is all stored, so that if an auditor arrives tomorrow, and asks me to prove the data from 3 months ago was processed correctly, I have to be able to come up with that 3 month old data.
I thought the easiest thing to do would be to use a series of make-table queries to move all the tables data to an external database, which can then be archived.
Does anyone have a way of allowing me to save the entire database, as at NOW - to another database?
I would need to make all the tables LOCAL, rather than linked?
Thanks! (and sorry for the unnecessarily long post!)
