People have forgotten we had this back in 1997 with MS Access.

I built a whole ERP system with it, single handedly including the hardware, software, networking and the workstation deployments without really breaking a sweat. We have gone off the rails somewhere.



Right but Access is outdated. Microsoft tried to make a web version of Access, but gave up. Now they recommend Power Apps but it’s support for databases is pretty weak.


It still works and it doesn't matter. Only the problem solved matters.


It's old so it's bad?


For starters it is not web-based, does not work on Mac, does not support LLM query generation, etc.
