There are many reasons in which you decide that you need to split the database into either a front-end application or a back-end application. Two of them serve different purposes, the back end database contains the tables and is stored on the server while the front end database links to those tables and contains other database objects like forms, queries, reports, macros and modules. This back end is distributed to the user’s workstation.

Now there are numerous of reasons due to which we split the database, some of which are mentioned below:

• Makes updating and adding easier: This process makes the addition and updating to the design of the database objects quite easier as you can replace the front-end on each PC on an as-needed basis. Unlike the shared database, you need not to close the database before making any changes.
• Increases performance: The goal of performance increment can be achieved very well. This arrangement loads forms and reports from the local hard drive, which is almost always faster than loading them from a LAN connection to a server, and it also reduces the traffic on the LAN by only sending the requested data, and not forms and reports.
• Debugging is easier: It is easier to detect and debug the problem. If there are many users who are accessing the database then if few of them are facing a problem then it becomes simple to judge what has been the root.
• File version problem decreases: If different workstation users have different file version of access installed the one having later file version can use the back end developed in the earlier version.
• Accidental or intentional deletion is not there: There are very less chances that the user deletes any of the important table either accidentally or deliberately. The only thing they can do is to delete the link to the table and not the actual table.
• Database corruption reduces: Last but not the least, the most occurring threat to the database called database corruption decreases. Most of the corruption to the database is the corruption in its objects like forms, modules and reports and if they have got corrupted due to any of the reasons like virus infection or application malfunctioning etc., then this is not going to affect the tables and will affect the specific user only and access repair can be applied without the other users to exit their place.

So splitting the database is a good practice even to single users for performance related issues. But there is a major downside of this phenomenon. Let us suppose that the front end has been designed in later file version while the back end in earlier then it will decline the performance at the workstation users of later file version as compared to earlier file version users and this configuration may lead to corruption at the back end also and the tables may also get corrupt.

The database corruption in any of the case require access repair, if you want to be back in the previous condition. The database placed at the server is with no doubt relevant from the organization’s operational point of view and so access repair for it is important.

Stellar Phoenix Access Recovery is the most robust access repair software which will work well for both the back-end and front-end databases. In other words this access repair software is able to repair all the corrupted tables and the database objects like forms, modules, macros and reports.

This access repair software scans the corrupted database to drag out the relevant data from them by the application of certain if the powerful algorithms. You can try out the free demo version of this access repair software from the company’s website.
