You could say the same thing about CouchDB! It seems less pejorative somehow, maybe because in its case the emphasis is on the web, not Access.

- tptacek 17y agoYou can't build an entire application from within a user interface with CouchDB. Access was both a crappy database and a simple interface for putting front-ends on that database.
- blasdel 17y agoOf course you can build an entire application within CouchDB, with just a tiny bit of bootstrapping. It ships with a very nice browser/editor, so you can store server-side JS as documents in the database, and have a stub that evals them. All that's missing is 280North's Atlas. Also, as someone who has to maintain such a thing, Access is a mediocre interface for putting frontends on databases.
