As for Access users, LibreOffice Base gives access to back-end DBMSes
ranging from SQLite to MySQL/MariaDB, any one of which can leave Access

I doubt it is the database as much as the apps built around it.  I had to
get employee information from a Access database but it was straight SQL
programming. However a ranger at another national park built an entire
incident handling application using Access. I was impressed or horrified,
take your pick. Winters get real long at that particular park.
