DATABASE.
SERVER DATABASE:
A database server is a computer program that provides database services to other computer programs
or computers, as defined by the client–server model. The term may also refer to a computer dedicated to
running such a program. Database management systems frequently provide database server
functionality, and some DBMSs (e.g., MySQL) rely exclusively on the client–server model for database
access.
Such a server is accessed either through a "front end" running on the user’s computer which displays
requested data or the "back end" which runs on the server and handles tasks such as data analysis and
storage.
Here if we make changes in client database then these changes will not be shown into the server
database. Server database is represented with the extension .be.
SPLITING A DATABASE:-
Create a blank database with the name mydatabase
Create table in the design view
Selecting the input mask as password
Enter few records in database table view
Creating a new table in the same database
Enter few records in the new table in the datasheet view
Splitting the database tables into client copy and server copy
