Corrupt Data Base

It's time to move to SQL Server, you should have done this a decade
ago



In Microsoft's own words....
The following comes from Microsoft article Q300216.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Microsoft Jet is a file-sharing database system. A file-sharing
database is one in which all the processing of the file
takes place at the client. When a file-sharing database, such as
Microsoft Jet, is used in a multiuser environment,
multiple client processes are using file read, write, and locking
operations on the same shared file across a network. If,
for any reason, a process cannot be completed, the file can be left in
an incomplete or a corrupted state. Two
examples of when a process may not be completed is when a client is
terminated unexpectedly or when a network
connection to a server is dropped.

Microsoft Jet is not intended to be used with high-stress, high-
concurrency, 24x7 server applications, such as Web,
commerce, transactional, and messaging servers. For these type of
applications, the best solution is to switch to a true
client/server-based database system such as Microsoft Data Engine
(MSDE) or Microsoft SQL Server. When you use
Microsoft Jet in high-stress applications such as Microsoft Internet
Information Server (IIS), customers have reported
database corruption, stability issues such as IIS crashing or locking
up, and also a sudden and persistent failure of the
driver to connect to a valid database that requires re-starting the
IIS service."
