My users can manage and manipulate their data fairly well in Access (with Excel).

However, the Oracle-based IT people are campaigning for a ban on the use of Access by users (mainly knowledge workers), instead they want the users to engage the Oracle team in building their 'applications' in Oracle - whilst at the same time saying that they cannot begin to look at any application for 12-18 mths!

My question is, how easy would it be for users to manipulate their data in Oracle instead of Access? Can they do that without reference to the Oracle team?

Any insight will be very useful. Thanks.
