ACCESS AS A BUSINESS DATABASE SYSTEM
- Thread starter dreamer
- Start date
It depends what you use it for. Access is a desktop database system with some limited networking facilities, the same is valid for paradox, dbase and similars.
IT people generally deal with bigger systems, the so called relational databases, which are designed to handle multiple users (100+), a huge amount of data and the security rules are far more stringent than for desktop databases.
The players in this arena are Oracle, Interbase, Sybase, Microsoft SQL server etc.
If your company does not have a network, or only a few computers, access can be fine, only make often back-ups.
