I’m reading about SQL and NoSQL stuff and end up with the site called db-engines.com. There is a  ranking page as below:

MICROSOFT ACCESS IS STILL ALIVE AND IT IS NUMBER (7) in the list. This is so weird. I don’t understand how this site measures the rank of the site! It says it is using popularity but how I have no clue! But this shocked me!

  1. My client’s access application is still functioning well, it does what client needs for his factory. That application had some major issues in the past, I spent lots of time fixing the bugs and stabilized the application. Since then, the only thing I need to do for this client is to maintain the db e.g. compact, split due to the access db size limitation.

    1. I heard about these experiences alot and I’m amazed. I think u r app was great that survived!
