Microsoft Access Explained


To date Ms Access is the most common Relationship Database Management System (RDBMS) for the Windows environment. MS Access is used for storing and maintaining customer records, sales data or just about any other data that needs tracking. It is suitable for small/medium sized businesses – (single-user and multi-user applications) as well as within departments in larger organisations.

MS Access applications are data rich, with smooth business-like user interfaces. They facilitate the development of highly efficient and customisable applications that enable integration of data from various sources over networks, intranets and the Internet.

Solumac recommends no more than 15 simultaneous users interact with an MS Access database. However recent developments by Microsoft have enabled us to design robust highly scalable front-end MS Access applications that interact seamlessly with complex and larger databases, like MS SQL and Oracle. This Client/Server type architecture is common in most business environments. Clients can now benefit from rapid application development at lower costs as well as increased application security and productivity. These applications can also handle a higher number of simultaneous users.
