Question : Too many indexes
|
|
When I try to add relationships in the relationship table, I get an error "There are too many indexes on the table 'tblSample'. Delete some of the indexes on the table and try the operation again.
What is the limit to the number of indexes? And how can I get around it?

Answer : Too many indexes

You should at least verify: My search criteria was 'too many indexes' + 'relationships' and this article was brought up so I thought it could apply.
Also, in a general manner, it is absolutely not necessary to setup all the relationships. They are useful if you want to force relational integrity with cascade updates & deletes, but in most cases they are not needed: In fact this window should not be called 'relationships' but 'constraints'. In a DBMS the relationships are generally implicit and the PK-FK constraints are defined only where the integrity (cascade updates/deletes) must be ensured. In most cases this integrity is ensured programmatically thru the forms so it is not necessary to define the relations explicitly. Also these relationships are contributing for slowing down the updates as Access will have to verify everytime.
