Although SQL is a full-blown platform for heavy database management, Microsoft Access serves the purpose perfectly for small and mid-scale enterprises. It is also perfect for people just getting started with database management. The graphical user interface is a major plus point, and it is very easy to use even for beginners.

Although Microsoft Access may have a few shortcomings, [...] the pros [really] outweigh them and make this a perfect choice for a database management software. The user interface is fairly simple and can be used by anyone, with minimal or zero knowledge about SQL. It is also easy to learn and grasp if you're just getting started with database management.
