work with access back-end on wuala and front-end on my own computer
I would like to link a access back-end database stored on wuala with my front-end stored on my computer. everything is fine but when I start to work with the front-end I get a error message that the data base is allready in use. Thank you very much for your help! Daniel
I’m confused

Inappropriate?wuala always stores complete files. that the smallest item it can store. many programs need random access (especially also writing) inside their files. that doesnt work with wuala as long as such apps read and write into big files constantly (within a very short amount of time).
what platform are you using for your frontend and where is the backend (wuala) running on and how do you interconnect these two?
you could copy the file to your local storage first, and then analyze how access exactly works on that file (windows i suppose... filemon and other systools are your friend). if you seed bytewise read/write access from your access.exe ;) to that file it will not work directly from the wuala storage.
the solution would need caching of the whole file and some kind of algorithm that would allow the wuala client to know when it would actually make sense to write back the whole file into the wuala cloud thus updating the file being represented in the wuala storage space.
i doubt that it will be possible to solve this kind of problem in general in the near future.
wuala is simply not made for this problem. its an archive space, and not a live storage space like a real harddisk with bytewise random access.1 Comment

Inappropriate?basically all you can do is work with you access file (.mdb i suppose or something) locally on your harddisk. and whenever you are finished using access you simply copy/sync that local folder where your .mdb access file is into your wuala storage folders.
you only save/sync the mdb file "once" at the end whenever your work is done with access.
only way to work with big and frequently changing files and apps that dont create tempfiles or diff-files locally and save the actual file only at the end or few times only.
