Let's
face it, nowadays every system
is created using some type of database. At A Bridge Solution,
we have experience in various platforms and database engines,
including FileMaker Pro, Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL
Server.
With this range of experience, we can work on smaller
projects utilizing FileMaker Pro or MS Access as well as larger
systems utilizing an SQL Server back-end. Our knowledge and
experience with these database platforms provides us with the
flexibility to choose a database tool that will provide the best
solution for you.
Don't let anybody tell you
that all
databases are created equal, and that there is no
difference between them. This is not true. Depending
on the volume of data you will be storing or retrieving, the
speed with which you need to retrieve it, the number of
concurrent users, oh and of course budget, the database you
choose is VERY important.
Also equally important, is the person or persons
responsible for designing your database. They need to
understand your system's needs to determine the correct database
to use. They need to understand the relationship of your
data so that you will be able to access the information you
desire. And they need to understand performance issues so
you can get that information in a timely manner.
