Hello,

I am just wondering if there are business application programmers in Cebu who still uses Microsoft Access?

[DigitalDaywalker]

dunay daghan....labi na katong way budget para-license sa SQL Server...hehehehe

[zengatsu]

kung mag program2 lang ko nya lingaw2 lang nya kailangan gamit database gamit ko access

[cebutech]

@cmontoya: yes, naa pa intawn. simple systems lang... like gamay na inventory system, payroll for small companies....
You can use Access for frontend (end-user interface) and SQL DBMS for backend.

ayaw lang expect naay mag-gamit ug access para full-blown accounting system. layo rajud na sa SAP or Microsoft GreatPlains, etc....

naay pay daghan bay, Access is a powerful tool if you know how to use it..... the only problem is that it cannot be a stand-alone application... platform dependednt (MS Office)...

[UCAV]

how about interbase backend kinsa man nag gamit

mas cheaper man ang interbase....

what do you think?

[caster_troy]

yah! MSACCESS lng f dili jud kaayo dako ang company and ilang datas dili kaayo daghan.. MSACESS lng ang gamita sa ila backend.. pro f dako2x na gani na company mas maayo f SQL Server ang gamita

[MandYX]

yup if you expect a huge amount of data consider using SQL server as your back end... for front end... pwede ra sad access...

You can also use Oracle 10g Express Edition. It is free to download, distribute, develop, and deploy. I believe it is better than an Access or MSDE database in many ways like it allows a database size of up to 4GB for user data while Access and MSDE allows for only 2GB. Read more about here bro:
