Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re[2]: Oracle vs MS Access
We recently had a request from our 'Quality' department to put a web enabled application out on our internet server which was going to use Access as the database. Boy, oh Boy, you should have heard the scream that came out of SA's. It was going to require a permanent bunch of holes in the corporate firewall large enough to let even the most inexperienced hacker in. End result, the project is being re-written to use Oracle as the backend DB. Basically the SA's were concerned that we'd have a firewall in name only. Add to that that Access does an every 5 milli second ping on the db file when used multi user & the network folks went up in arms. Boy that was a FUN meeting & all I had to do as sit back & watch. Someone pass the popcorn & beer PLEASE!!!

I don't know of any comparisons but unless you have only a very tiny amount
of data and you expect only one connection to the database at a time I would
not use Access.

We are developing web database standards in my workplace. I need to identify advantages/disadvantages of using Oracle verses MS Access for web databases.
Does anyone know of any good resources for gathering this info (web sites, articles, etc)? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Maria
