Why we need to use MS Access?

1
As a database developer
have you considered
as your main tool?
2
Why?
If you havent,
then it is about time
here are the reasons
3
Easy to Create Data Tables
4
Even non-programmers can create a simple database
structure using MS Access. However, it can only
store smaller amounts of data ex 20mb or 25000
records.
Don't worry because in case you go big, you can
link it to larger databases such as MS SQL to
have the power, speed and storage you will need.
5
Easy to Generate Forms
6
With MS Access, you can easily create forms from
scratch as they have Automatic Form Tools along
with the program.
Since their form generator is GUI-based, you can
drag and drop text box and objects to create a
form.
You can also download form templates online to
guide you in form design.
7
Easy to Generate Reports
8
Access has its own report generator to view and
print out information in your database.
You can also choose to write your reports from
scratch or use other report generators such as
Crystal Report writer.
Access' report generator is GUI based making it
flexible and easy to use.
9
Easy to Run and Compile Queries
10
Access makes you run simple queries like
information displaying and functions thanks to
it's GUI features.
These queries can also run stored procedures from
remote databases.
Queries can also be compiled since MS Access uses
VBA or Visual Basic as its base programming
language.
11
Since it is included in the Microsoft Office
family, you don't need to pay for a separate
license to use it.
It has loads of features that you just need to
take time discovering.
Access might look easy with its GUI features but
you are able to create interesting and complex
database or forms if you will learn how to code.
MS Access also creates fastest and cheapest Rapid
Application Development to prove and test your
database theories.
