From the Paper:

"Microsoft Office Access is a multi-user relational database management system. It is designed to allow user to quickly assemble, display, and share data with others while protecting the privacy of the data and ensuring to have full control over how the data is used and distributed. It makes use of visual design for queries, forms and reports for developing client-server database solutions. It is committed in offering integrated development environment, incremental compilation and interactive visual debugger, breakpoints and single step-through. Although the maximum database size is 1 GB, still database can include linked tables in other files and its total size is limited only by available storage capacity. The difference of Microsoft Access to other database is that it has a nice GUI that enables user to easily manage all information from a single database file. Within the file, user can use Tables for storing data, Queries for finding and retrieving data you want, Forms for view, add and update data within the table, Reports for analyzing or printing data and Data Access pages to view, update the database data."
