# Microsoft Access — Database Administrator

For a Database Administrator (DBA), 'Microsoft Access' competence isn’t about *building* production databases – that’s SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL etc.'s domain. It's about rapid prototyping, data analysis for troubleshooting, and providing self-service tools to end-users who need limited database access without impacting core systems. A DBA might quickly build an Access front-end connected to a SQL Server backend to allow business analysts to run specific reports or perform ad-hoc queries *without* granting them direct SQL Server permissions. They'll also use it for importing/exporting small datasets for testing, validating ETL processes, and occasionally reverse-engineering poorly documented legacy systems.
