Take Back Your Data: Microsoft Access
L. Keith Jordan Overview:
For years, you have used Microsoft Access to collect and store data for your organization. But Access is proprietary. And Microsoft seems to be moving away from the desktop to the cloud.
What if Access is no longer available? What if you outgrow Access and need to scale up to a different RDBMS? Is all your data lost?
The short answer to these questions is “No – or at least, not necessarily.”
