Re: MsAccess vs Oracle

["Hatcher, Joan A" <joan.hatcher@BAESYSTEMS.COM>]

  I'd like to thank everyone for their responses to my question below about
Oracle vs MSAccess. This is my first time using an Internet users group and
I'm overwhelmed by the helpfulness of everyone out there (my e-mail has also
increased exponentially).
  Anyway, you all helped our group convince upper management, which wanted
MSAccess but is not software savvy, that the database should remain in
Oracle.  Now if my boss can just convince them to upgrade our version of
Oracle we'd be REALLY happy (but that's another battle).

Thanks again,
Joan
