Hello,
What is the best SQL Server design approach that we could use for the below scenario:
- MS Access Databases are used to store, retrieve and process the data.
- Around 50 databases are in production utilized by 50 different UDAs.
- 10~15 input sources for these 50 databases and 10% of fields may likely be the same.
- Need a SQL database with tables that can accommodate all the above tables and any future projects that may occur.

I'm afraid that this is a question that cannot easily be answered in a forum. To give a good answer I would need quite intimate knowledge of the source databases and the requirements. But maybe we can offer some high-level ideas, if we get some more input.
