Microsoft Access: The Database Software That Won't Die
Is there a modern and/or open alternative to this? E.g a SQLite + electron or local web client thing where you could build a simple inventory or similar <i>but</i> you should also be able to scale it to client server when the need occurs 10 years down.<p>Note that any number of cloud startups don’t count as an alternative to access. When these things start it’s as an excel sheet with data that no one will go through the enterprise hassle to get cleared for anywhere but their own hard drive. This needs to sit above excel but still local. You need the entire business case and business value while it’s still in a local directory.
