Speaking of nostalgia and Microsoft deprecating great low-code development tools… I miss Access Data Projects. These had the Access front end and VB rapid app development experience, but were backed (only) by SQL Server. This mode wasn’t the classic ODBC external table connector. If you added a table in Access, it would create a table in SQL. If you created columns, foreign keys, or views, the changes would be made directly to the database schema. This also eliminated the data corruption issues that plagued file-based databases. It truly was one of the fastest and best ways to write an internal-use business app. So of course, Microsoft took it out to the back and quietly drowned it in a tub.
