Database: Maximum Files/External Database/multi users

  Hello all

  How many Files can the ACDSee 3.0 Database handle?
  Does it make sense to use multiple Database (e.g. productive and archive DB?)

  Is it possible to store ACDSee contents in an external Database, for example Oracle XE?

  Is the database capable to handle multiple users working on the same database at the same time?

   

  Thanks

  I don't know that there's any official upper limit on the size, aside from the upper limit the filesystem might place on the size of a single file (?).  Given that ACDSee doens't provide a straightforward way of using multiple db's, I think most just let the db get bigger and bigger.  certianly there are people with hundred of thousands of images.  Performance isn't as good as with smaller db's, although some operations remain faster than others (assigning items to a catalog, for instance, is one of the operations that gets noticeably slower, depending on what method you use to do it).

  ACDSee's db is based on foxpro, I believe; might be possible to access it that way?  Aside from that, you can export it to an XML-formatted text file that you might then be able to import into something else.

  No, there are no multi-user capabilities, and even to the extent you can get multiple instantiations to access the same db, there is no concurrency control, so having two people access it at once isn't recommended.
