Ask HN: Has anyone ever considered "MS Access a viable option"?

"Access, why would we need that? We already have a shared folder with all our Excel sheets"

This is true, and several of the world's biggest companies run that way. Several-hundred-megabyte spreadsheets, with VBA interfaces copy & pasted between them; can't change it because the unknown cost of breaking it is potentially greater than the known cost of hiring an entire department of people to do one database server's job :(

I freelanced once for the local VA hospital and they sure tried!
