I am new to Access and have been charged with investigating capabilities for a rather large project. We would like to extract peer group data from a wide range of files. We have quarterly data spanning 5 years.
Scope:
Historical Records: 20 quarters
Files for each quarter: 20
Line items in each file: 6500
Columns in each file: 115
To summarize, there will be approximately 400 data files to load, each with 6500 line items and 115 columns. That's around 300 million data points. We are using high-end new desktop PCs. The project is large (to me), so I'm wondering if Access can be used to manipulate data of this volume.
Would appreciate any thoughts.
thanks
Jim
