Sunday, February 19, 2023Author: Antrow SoftwareMicrosoft Access, or simply Access, is a relational database management system developed by Microsoft. It was first released in November 1992 as a part of the Microsoft Office suite, and has since then gone through several major versions, with the latest being Access 2019, released in 2018.
The idea for Access began in the late 1980s, when Microsoft realized that many of its customers were using Excel spreadsheets to store and manage data. However, spreadsheets were not well-suited for managing large amounts of data, and customers were asking for a more robust solution. In response, Microsoft formed a team to develop a new database management system that would be easier to use than existing products on the market, such as Oracle and SQL Server.
The team was led by Alan Cooper, who had previously created the popular programming language Visual Basic. The first version of Access was released in 1992, and it was an immediate success. Access was a more user-friendly database management system than its competitors, and it quickly became popular among small businesses and non-technical users who needed a way to manage their data without relying on IT departments.
Over the years, Access has undergone many changes and improvements. In the late 1990s, Microsoft introduced a new database format called Access Data Project (ADP), which allowed Access to connect to SQL Server databases. This gave Access users the ability to create powerful client-server applications, and it helped to position Access as a more serious database management system.
In the early 2000s, Microsoft introduced a new version of Access, called Access 2002 (also known as Access XP), which included a number of new features, such as the ability to create data access pages that could be published to the web. Access 2003, released in 2003, introduced a new interface that made it easier to work with complex databases.
In recent years, Microsoft has continued to update Access with new features and capabilities. Access 2010, released in 2010, introduced a new feature called "Web Databases," which allowed users to create databases that could be published to the web using SharePoint. Access 2013 introduced a new app model, which allowed users to create and deploy Access web apps to SharePoint Online, and Access 2016 introduced several new features aimed at improving the user experience and making it easier to work with data.
Despite the rise of other database management systems like MySQL and PostgreSQL, Access remains a popular tool for small businesses and non-technical users who need a simple way to manage their data.
