which is the preffered option?

Many thanks for any help

Well, they are related to each other.

After you split a database, you have two parts, And "THEN" you use linking
(linked tables) from the front part to the back end.


So, it is not really an issue of a preferred option, but that they are
interwoven to each other.

I explain the whole splitting process on a conceptual level here:
