Are there any alternatives to MS Access?
Requirements:
- Portable Database file
- Integrated form development for data entry
- No compiling necessary. Can be modified on the fly.
Two more requirements:
- Available for Linux or Windows
Does not have to be free
EDIT: Emphasised Integrated form development for data entry as the top voted answers for this question, at the time of edit, both recommend a simple database system. The reason why Access is still so hard to replace for simple department level CRUD (and more) applications is the integration of database, data entry forms and reporting tool. Simply recommending a database does not answer the question as posed.
