What is MS Access
Microsoft Access is a relational database management system that is part of the Microsoft Office professional suite. The software combines the Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a graphical user interface and development tools. It can also import data in other Access databases including Excel, SharePoint, XML, Outlook, HMTL and many other types of data.
ADVANTAGES
Data Access Importing and exporting data of many formats is key to the advantages of Access. It has the ability to link the data in its existing location for viewing, querying, editing and reporting. This allows the data to be changed and enables anyone with the Access platform to use the latest edits. Jet Database Format Access can use the Jet Database format, which allows the application and data in one file to be easily distributed to other users who can run it elsewhere. Jet allows multiple users to access data concurrently and employs a datalocking policy when multiple users try to write the same data. SQL Compatibility From a programmer's perspective, this gives the software more utility to edit SQL statements and use them directly in macros or VBA Modules. This allows the data being used in Access to be view graphically or edited in the form of SQL statements, making it easier to manipulate Access tables.
