Oh god, no more Access. Access has a weird semi-dialect of SQL where it's insanely picky about how you position parenthesis in multiple join statements. I found it impossible to get a query right without the graphical query generator, and that's after routinely writing 5-10 table joins in T-SQL. No thanks, I'd recommend Sqlite over it anyday for a lightweight database. Works great on command line or in any of dozens of helper tools on any platform, and it's Free.
