Compare the capabilities of the Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle’s MySQL, and Oracle relational database management systems (RDBMSs). Your paper should discuss the processing speeds, data storage capabilities, maximum users supported, platforms supported, user interfaces, development tools, vendor support, and cost. Discuss and cite at least two references in addition to our textbook. Your paper should be 3-5 pages in length (excluding title and References pages) Solution Microsoft Access Overview: Microsoft Access is a part of Microsoft Office, it is commercially available database in the market Inexpensive/standard on most computers users can create complex databases database professionalas can use construct a database customers of MS-Access: It is mainly used in small corporate companies or IT Sectors with 1-80 endusers. Features of MS-Access: 1.It is having GUI Interface for creating databases 2. A databae contains tables, forms, reports, queries, macros. 3. It facilitates autocontent wizards to build tables or forms or reports. 4. It acts as an interface to other DBMS using ODBC 5. It is used for small business companies 6. Provides security like password protection 7. Provides a Data dictionary 8. We can repair the database 9. We can create different views 10. External data can be imported into Access 11. We can create web pages based using the database 12. It has as built in Macro functions 13. It uses Structurered Query Language 14. We can create forms, reports etc by using Visual Basic Application programming 15. Provides Add in controls like calendars 16. It can merged into word and analysed with Excel etc. Issues: Security: User level security is very difficult Tuning: It does not have the ability to split over multiple Hard Drives, multiple CPUs or to place tables into memory. Locking: Basic handling of concurrent users Backup and recovery at basic level. ANSI SQL standard often doesn\'t work,MS-Access has it\'s own modified version of ANSI SQL. MySQL Overview MySQL is a database engine. It has a command line interface that allows the creation of database. It Requires Front-end applications to access it for end users. EX:- C#, PHP, Microsoft ASP.Net. Typical users Small companies or workgroups, through to very large Internet databases with large numbers of users Ex:wikipedia,Moodle. Features 1. Speed:One of the fastest databases available 2. Ease of use: when compared to larger databases such as Oracle Uses standard SQL 3. Capability: A multi-threaded server allowing many clients to connect at the same time Fully networked for the Internet with built in security 4.Portability: Runs on a many operating systems and different hardware 5. Small size: when compared to other large databases e.g. Oracle 6. Availabliity and Cost: Open Source ,Free in most situations to use 7. Open distribution and source code: You can check how it works – if you have the knowledge. 8. interface to other DBMS’s using Open Database Connectivit.
