When it comes to development project, a broader view can bring more significant results – and this is the Microsoft Access case. This seemingly simple database that comes with the Microsoft Office suite, can be a very cost effective way to those who want to program more simple systems that do not require much database resources.

Despite the simplicity, Microsoft Access offers many resources. Among the main ones, it is possible to highlight:

  • Support for OLE DB;
  • Relationship between tables;
  • Using SQL to access the data of the tables;
  • XML support;
  • Friendly and intuitive interface;
  • Database Replication.
