illusions about it. Sitll that doesn't make it any less useful **in
context**
I think the original question has been forgotten here: What is a good
replacement for Access? Well, we can all agree that "anything" is the
correct answer :-).
Next, I submit if you are using Access you are probably not running
mission-control for NASA's next space launch, or tracking currency
fluctuations the World Bank. So given the likely limited nature of
the task at hand I think that opens the door quite a bit in terms of
what you can and cannot accept in a database.
For the small to medium site, mySQL should work fine. God knows it
certainly will be one hell of a lot faster, and handle concurrent use
far, far better than a poor, besotted Access .mdb. ...assuming of
course that whoever built the app has their head screwed on straight
and isn't doing something looney.
And when your application makes you rich and famous step up to the
plate and empty your wallet for MS SQL or Oracle, or hire Jochem to
figure out how to get PostGres running on your Windows server :D
