Any database system that has a 'Repair' function is a liability.
Access should be taught as a primer at schools and universities on what not to use.

As a one-user only system it was fine, however people developed critical, multi-user business systems with this toy engine. It allowed uneducated cowboys to develop systems fast that failed horribly.
