First, sorry about my bad command in english.I have many years experience with several database products: Foxbase, FoxPro, MS SQL, Access, Postgresql, AS400 DB2. Compared to any of the above Access is a toy. Case in point; in my office we have a product which is "multi-user" based upon Access. When the users, there are only four of them, start pumping data into the database all at once, the product fails. We then contact the vendor then replies with a TechNet article from M$ which explains that Access should not be used as a multi-user database.
Also, take note many many projects start as just a simple little job and then take on a life of their own.
Oh what about security and user management. And what about backups. Who is going to hang around until all the users are finished to backup
the database?
Considering Postgresql is free and actually works. There is no
decision.
Not a problem, it's better then some who use it natively..
Ok. This is true, but there is a problem when you are developing an aplication that must be easy to install,
because the person who will probably install the system is a PC user, not a Software Ingenier neither a DB Admin.
I understand what you are saying, but I would submit that convenience is never a substitute for data integrity.
