Access has filters, which are SQL commands that you store. You can then
slice them and dice them just like a "real" table. You aren't having to
recreate the temp table every time the database starts. Access, however,
is not a real production database built to be hit on by a lot of people. I
think it's most productively used around the world on downloaded data for
creating reports on "dead" data.
