Microsoft Access, also known as Microsoft Office Access, is a RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) from Microsoft. It combines the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a GUI and ships with an SDK (software development tools). Microsoft Access is part of the Microsoft Office suite. The current version is Microsoft Office Access 2010. Access stores data in a proprietry format based on the Jet Database Engine. It can import and/or link directly to data stored in previous Access databases versions, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft SharePoint lists, text/CSV, XML, Paradox, or any ODBC-compliant database. It can also import and/or link to professional databases like Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle and many others. A Microsoft Access database is primarily a Windows file. It must have a location, also called a path, which indicates how the file can be retrieved and made available. Although you can create a database on the root directory such as the C: drive, it is usually a good idea to create your files, including your databases, in an easily recognizable folder. |
