[Qgis-user] Fwd: "Normal" mdb support possible for "normal" people?

[Johan Nilsson]

Fist. I know very little about using dedicated realationdatabase in GIS.
I not sure about why ESRI support mdb then they quiet strongly recommend
you NOT to use it.

http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.2/index.cfm?topicname=types_of_geodatabases

I think to hold files in a directory (folder)  are a very sheep price
compared to slow performance limited storage to max 2 GB.

Does anyone know if there may be other problems with MS Access files?
Missed seached data and so on?

Cheers
