Egen Access Server

Access is NOT a server!

Can you give some more information as to what you want please?

Jeg vil have en MS SQL server stående, så jeg kan bruge den sammen med min coldfusion server

But this is Access category not SQL Server!

Its no problem installing an SQL Server on a PC and access it from another program on another PC, but I know NOTHING about ColdFusion so I cant say exactly how that woul dbe done.

--> terry: While Access isn't a server per se, it can act as a server application (aka. Back-End database) for other applications such as ASP or PHP.

And since Microsoft has named its top-of-the-line product MS SQL Server, it is rather obvious where the term came from. I think you'll have to accept that people generally consider a database a server (and maybe even rightly so - it all depends on the definition applied).

Access is actually both, a server and a client - or rather, a server with an integrated client framework, which makes it a bit different from most other databases.

a server is something that gives! With Access you have to take :o)

By what definition? Even when you compare to a Windows 2003 server (which I believe even you would recognize as a server) the difference isn't that big. Windows doesn't push information at its clients either, but serves as a slave to its clients (the user programs), for which it provides services, hence the name server.

The same is true for a database. It provides services for clients (managing data, delivering data according to criteria set forth by the client, etc., etc.).

Other applications can act as servers, also. If you use a telnet client, you'll also have a telnet server at the other end. The term simply means a program or an application that provides services for other programs or applications.

Some people doesn't use the term server but prefers the term daemon. The latter term is used mostly in the unix community.
