They generally cannot. But they do banish Access.


Now that is different.

Access gets used for a shared DB and that is quite easy to corrupt. It is much more cost effective to have that in a proper central database (I supse SQLLite is better here as well)


Excel is also a shared DB: it has supported multiple concurrent users accessing and modifying the same spreadsheet for decades.
