I should have been more explicit ...

Are we talking about elephants, medical patients, auto parts, or
geographical locations?

Jeff,

Thank you (and everyone) for understanding and for continuing to help me.

There is a table with 5 fields. Of the 5 fields, 3 fields are text
fields,
and the data of those fields are numbers. The fourth field is an
alpha-numeric field, and the fifth field is a date field. In the table,
there are over 100 millions records.

I hope this information is helpful. Thanks.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your response. I am sorry for the delay in responding to
your
message.

Due to confidentiality of the data that I am working on, unfortunately,
I
can not share that information with you. I hope you understand.

Thanks.

Many of the responders have asked, but I've not seen your response
yet.

WHAT data are you storing? Is this a database that contains truck
parts,
.... or geographic/topological features, ... or pictures of zoo
animals,
...
or ???

The reason I'm asking (and I assume others are) is because "HOW"
depends
on
"WHAT", and I still don't have a clear picture of what you are working
on.

More info, please...

Hello all,

I am sure this place is a right place to ask questions on SQL
Server.

I want to create a SQL Server, and I do not know how to get started.
I
have
tried 2003 SQL Server Express, and it did not work for me due to the
limit
of
database size at 4GB. I need a database with at least 100GB
capacity.

My current plan is to buy a $500 desktop computer for the purpose of
hosting
the SQL Server. I will have SQL Server as a back-end database and
Access
as
a front-end database. I also may want to access the SQL Server from
Access
FE in a laptop computer.

If you can share with me how I can get started and how much it will
cost
me,
I would be greatly appreciated.
