> What is the difference between access and oracle database?

In Access the client program manipulates the database files directly and uses file page locking, making it unusable for more than say a dozen simultaneous users. In Oracle the client program communicates with a server that has exclusive access to the database files, and thus can handle hundreds or even thousands of simulateneous users.
