Re:Microsoft Access: The Database Software That Won't Die by dlhavema on Thursday October 31, 2019 @10:43AM (#21409352)
My first real programming job was a summer project for a tutoring program at ASU where they managed their schedules in a shared access database. It got bad as it would get overwritten often. 10 students would show up with no tutor, or a tutor would sit and wiat for students who would never come cause they rescheduled.

We copied the structure to SQL server, built some stored procs ( only allowed way to access the DB at the time ) and fronted it with a bunch of aspx pages. They loved it beyond my expectations.

All of that was new learning as I had only ever done the LAMP stack at that time and this was all Microsoft stuff.
