nope only patforms that are relevant to your app. Access is without doubt an
RDBMS. it also almost certainly has the highest installed base of any
commercial RDBMS. however it isn't to be seen running ERP apps or TPC

also run the highest percentage of mission critical (ie can't do without)
apps of any RDBMS.
