A comment on Why do people still use VBA?. Parent comment
- embedded database via Access Data Objects (ADO).
There's still no modern equivalent. The ADO notion was lost in the transition from workgroup (file sharing) to client/server (ODBC).
ORMs, ActiveRecords, builders (eg JOOQ), templates, etc. are all partial solutions. Abstractions with sharp edges and traps.
(Yes, I'm working on it.)
