Re: why>?

I have never once reccomend the usage of MDB files anywhere.

your access folk don't know what the hell they're doing.

anyone using mdb in 2006 is out of date; just like anyone using xls in
2006 is out of date.

it is all about this technology called 'Access Data Projects'

they are the best IDE anywhere in the world-- for designing stored
procedures and views.

sql server management studio has some things on it; but it's still too
close ot call in my book.

I have never ever had an access data project that isn't lightning fast.


it keeps all the tables and views, and sprocs in one place.
a) version control is a lot easier; since you're not copying
client-side queries around
b) stronger query engine
c) parameterization
d) user defined functions
e) triggers

i think that it's an awesome friggin stack.

i mean-- it's unbeatable anywhere.

data entry forms; reports-- it's 10,000 times more powerful than xls.

im sorry you're too close minded to use modern tools.

xls is for babies.

i've got a better excel than you do; i've got better pivotTables than
you do.

give up kids

And your point is, besides the one on your head?

This is apples and oranges, since Excel is a spread***-type
application and Access is a database application, and besides that, WHO
CARES what you think?

".....sub-second response times against billions of records. " Really?
How? I've worked in companies, large and small, where tons of records
have crippled Access, as well as having several users hitting a
database at the same time has also crippled Access.

Perhaps you do know both Excel and Access, but most of your responses
and musings in this forum are a bit simpleton and extremely prejudiced.
You sound like, "Nyaaaa, nyaaaa, I can do this better than you can!"
That is only because as I said earlier, one is oriented toward
spreadsheets and one is oriented toward database processing.

If you don't care for Excel, then don't use it and please find another
newsgroup / forum to harass.
