Problems Asp.Net with Access Backend

C

Hi guys,

I was wondering if someone could help me.

Im in the process of building a web site in asp.net that uses MS Access
as the backend for the site.

I have heard numerous people say that access is not a good backend
database for web applications as there are locking issues and
performance issues.

The database im building will at most only have a couple of thousand
records.

My main concern is the connection that im using - in regards to locking
out other users (jet). I have read in numerous places that this is
problematic. Can anyone point me towards a replacement connection as im
a bit unsure of alternatives.

or should i bite the bullet and use another database ??

Any help or pointers appreciated

Thanks

Yes that is true since it is file based.

You can try MSDE, MySQL (embedded?)... or even Firebird database (the old
Borland DB revamped).
