OK so that's the situation eh? The dev for doing is this not as easy as using Access? that's a drag!
You continue to add things that do not exist. Who said anything about the specific dev for this? No one. Who said anything about owning Access (at the time you posted this)? No one.
Dude STFU - I'm asking for me, not the OP.. yes I'm butting the FUCK into his conversation, but it's mine.. so either answer my question or ignore me, don't harass me

@Dashrender the problem with using an actual database like MySQL/MariaDB/SQL Express is that you then have to write an interface to even look at the data. For simple data, it is much easier to simply use the GUI that Access/Base provides to look at records.
Thank you!

Ask your own question.

Hope your shit is up to date, the last time I tried to do this I was running Domino 4 and I didn't have an OBDC driver to leverage.
Files are also flat, so you will need to rebuild your relationships if you have them. If all you need is the data and don't plan on adding to it, export it out into Excel spreadsheets and format accordingly.

That's mostly true. If the data is flat or flat-ish, though, standard free tools like myPhpAdmin will give you a GUI without any extra effort. It's not technically included in the base package, but is so standard that many people think of it that way. But definitely would not require writing your own interface if the data did not need to be reassembled in a relational way.
