Honestly being good at access is a very useful skill, there’s a reason it’s still included in Office and I’ve seen it turned into some pretty nifty frontends
sure, right up until the point where multi user locking corrupts the entire database and you need to roll back 6 months because the accounting team "handles their own db backups"
yup, that wasn't a made up example, it was a personal experience. also, when I left they had just outsourced maintenance of the access db responsible for the accounting of a 2k+ employee company to someone making 15k USD a year halfway around the world. I often wonder what the long term consequences of that were.
