Access is not a database! Access is a very powerful Rapid Application Development environment which can use its own native database format (Microsoft Jet) or any number of robust RDBMSs. The statement "These statistics almost certainly overstate the popularity of Access" is 100% wrong. A number of those Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL segments of the pie chart will be using Access as an application FE. I've been building complex Access applications using SQL Server and MySQL as the database for years.

Nothing else that I've tried compares. Have you ever tried to make a datasheet object in JAVA? Last I tried you had to bind the datasource to the datasheet, which I think they call a JTABLE and then you can't even really manipulate the data within it without a bunch more code/logic. Access is completely magical in so many regards... I wish Microsoft take it more seriously.

Access is an awesome tool, and I think maybe more powerful than MS consented to. I used to write monolithic apps that did everything, but subsequently learned another way to skin the apple, as it were: write each task as a separate app; create shortcuts to them all; one double-click executes the task and then exits. The whole point of this is to eliminate the user, which most obviously works for Reports. Double-click this button and magically the report spits out of your printer, or perhaps a text file. No fuss, no muss; there it is. On Thu, Oct 31, 2019 at 11:22 AM jack drawbridge wrote: > Good write up Dan. The author seems focused on the DB part and not the > RAD/FE to anything aspect.
