You could think of it as Java's answer to Access, except that I
wouldn't want to be that demeaning of JavaDB (aka Apache Derby). It's
transactional, which is I think more than you can say about MS Access
files, but also file-based meaning that I think you can just copy a
single file around and "move" the database. It's not usually that simple
in the larger RDBMS world.

RE: [OT] Working of Tomcat with MS Access

Posted by "Propes, Barry L " <ba...@citi.com>.
Oh, ok, that explains it better.

I've "had to" deal w/ MS Access, more than I'd like, or out of pure cheapness on my part sometimes, but have amply dealt with Oracle (best IMO) and SQL Server.

And no it's usually not.

I absolutely have to have MS Access solutions here, based in our corp. world, for quick reporting modules for people. They're always tethered to our Oracle ODBC connections, and lately I've been dealing with one that's not really that nice! : (
