To split or not? / how to make improvements during use
I have finished my database and am wanting a way to make improvements to the database while not interferring with another user using the database. Due to the content of the database, there will only be one user at a time, so there is no need for multiple users. The database will be located on a network drive. With that being said, would it even be necessary to split the database? Is there another way to make changes that can be incorporated into the database without completely covering up the existing and wiping all existing data? Also, again considering the content of the database, the user will not be able to generate their own reports or queries, because of content integrety and I understand the split allows for that.
Any suggestions? solutions? ideas?
thanks!
