The relational DBMS Microsoft Access is a user-friendly environment for working with databases. It allows you to save and organize a variety of information presented in tabular form. Access has broad capabilities for selection tasks, various forms of data input and processing, as well as their output as reports. At the same time, the DBMS is a multi-user, interactive and convenient environment for creating a database. The creation of a database in Access, like most other operations, is automated, which does not negate the possibility of a "manual" mode of operation.
