There's nowt wrong with Access. Used correctly, you can actually get
some bloody big applications running off it. I've got a mate who used
to do proper software projects running off of Access with up to 750,000
rows in the db, 100+ users stuff like that.
If I remember correctly Raymond Camden's Death Clock website is still
running exclusively off of Access and has been for years and gets silly
amounts of traffic hitting it.
Just goes to show that with careful coding and queries and it possible
to make a perfectly acceptable application using Access. You just need
to be aware of the idiocyncracies of Access and make sure you cater for
them, like compressing the database and making sure you have the drivers
that don't leak...
These lot are just spoilt with SQL Server and Orible the non-standard
where they don't have optimise their queries or code.... ;oD
