My software project is a simple database. I was wondering if Access could be used to create it or do I have to use a programming language to do it from scratch?
The project does require that I bring in source code. The thing is that this is a software engineering project and it requires that I use C, but the client (I had to get a REAL client) requires something that his store can use, and I don’t want to seem like I’m taking the easy way out, but I think using a DBMS like Access is far easier than using C.
I’m giving the C version to my teacher, but to the client, the C version may not be user-friendly, hence the question.
What should I do?
Sure, it can be used to create a simple database.
Does your project require you to turn in source code for your data definitions? If so you may want to use SQL.
with ms access you can use SQL, you can use vba. you could link to an underlying i.e. ORACLE database.
