Microsoft Access

Microsoft Access is a database system made for individuals and small businesses to manage and report data. It offers easy installation, integration with other programs, and a graphical user interface without requiring complex programming. However, it is limited to 2GB of data storage in one file and has less robust SQL functionality than dedicated database servers. The document examines the advantages of ease of use, cost, and popularity and the disadvantages of finite data capacity and performance issues with large data sizes.

What is Microsoft Access?
Microsoft Access or Microsoft Office Access is a database system made for
individuals and small-to-medium-sized businesses who want to capture, manage,
and report data in a professional way. It is a member of the Microsoft Office Suite
of applications which combines the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine with
a graphical user interface and software-development tools. It is known for being a
leading option for professional data managers who require advanced ways to
report project data. Since Microsoft Access does not require complicated
programming, regular people can create powerful data bases in advanced ways
with Microsoft Access.

What are the Microsoft Access


advantages?
Easy to install and use — Access gives data
managers a fully functional, relational database
management system in minutes. Like many other
Microsoft applications, Access contains Wizards
that walk you through each step of the way. The
user interface is intuitive; accelerating data
information retrieval.
Ease to integrate – Access works well with many of the developing software
programs based in Windows. It also can be used in the front-end as back-end tables
with products like Microsoft SQL Server and non-Microsoft products like Oracle and
Sybase.

NET-friendly – Access is a go-to choice for users who plan to develop software using
.NET; linking to Access database. Its graphical user interface also offers easy
functionality and set up.
Widely popular — Microsoft Access is the most popular desktop database system
in the world.

Saves you money — Microsoft Access is hundreds of dollars more economical than
other larger systems; offering the same functions and usage.

Convenient storage capacity – A Microsoft Access database can hold up to 2 GB of


data.

Multi-user support – About ten users in a network can use an Access application.

Importing data — Microsoft Access makes it easy to import data.

What are the Microsoft Access disadvantages?


Finite – Microsoft Access is useful for individual departments or small-to-medium
business sectors. Any sector whose usage goes beyond 2 GB will hit a wall and
discover limitations.

Structure Query Language (SQL) — SQL for MS Access is not as robust as MS SQL
Server or Oracle, to just name a few.

One file — All the information from your database is saved into one file. This limits
options and how you choose utilize data; slowing down reports, queries, and forms.
Its performance becomes slow as the user scales data size. Multimedia data can
use up MS Access limited space quickly.

Static-Friendly — It’s difficult to publish files a part from static files.
