As for Access users, LibreOffice Base gives access to back-end DBMSes

in the dust.

 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.

MS Access makes it easy to create databases and the applications, more than LO Base. LO has neglected that aspect, I'm sorry to say.
