Respected BENTLEY Family,
My question is related to the piping and equipment in Bentley AutoPlant application.
In our company , we are using MS-ACCESS database for having the piping details information of various oil & gas drawing.
We extract the Autoplant Piping Model into MS-ACCESS database ,then this MS-ACCESS database is use further to create the report in Excel / Crystal Report.
We also create SpecGen/specification in MS-ACCESS only.
We are planning about to use SQL-Server database instead of MS-ACCESS , but before that we want following information so that we can take proper decision for database.
1> Want to know how SQL-Server can be more helpful than MS-ACCESS in Bentley application for Piping?
2> How we can use SQL Server for creating SpecGen instead of MS-Access? , please let me know the step/procedure to create SpecGen in SQL-Server.
3> What is the exact limitation of "project size" for MS-ACCESS,SQL-Server and Oracle? , means want to know exact size of project, so that according to our project size , we can go / think for SQL-Server or other database.
4> How, we can create/set different user's login access as per their permission level in SQL-Server?
5> I am creating crystal report for various reports , then How to use"i-model Driver for Crystal Reports"?
Waiting for your reply with answer of above doubt.
