The size of the database is affected by the number of objects migrated. The database also increases in size when reports are generated within DMA because this information is stored in the database.
Although, Microsoft Access has a database size limit of 2 GB NetIQ has not had any reports of this limit being reached or causing a problem. Please contact NetIQ Technical Support if you have concerns about large migrations.
