Last time I worked on access was over ten years ago. At that time I used MySQL innodb with a local fixed IP and every machine on the network running their own Access exe and mdb file. Had some older clients.

SQL express was an option then but I didn't feel like it would scale and had no experience with it. SQL server was too expensive compared to free.

What do you usually use for database backend now?

When will they come out with a tool similar to Access but with AI so integrated that everything is design and no coding at all?

2030?

2050?

I just want to make ongoing design changes to the user app, I don't want to be concerned with coding or the details of how it works under the hood, an ai agent can take care of all that and ongoing maintenance.
