The very best software, such as on GNU/Linux, is near-infinitely
configurable.

This means that the user is in control of virtually every aspect
of the software operation.

Need proof?

Here is a video showing the hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of
user-configurable options in the Mathematica software, the premiere
global CAS package (yes, like all great software, it has a GNU/Linux
version).

https://ufile.io/zwcq8qp9

Feast thine jaundiced, blood-shot eyeballs on the astounding number
of configurable options. It would take a knowledgeable user weeks,
if not months, to set them all.

Compare this to the junk Microslop software which leaves the user with
no choices whatsoever.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are

On the contrary, I have pointed out how Microsoft Access is so much more
limiting than open-source tools.

4 open source alternatives to Microsoft Access

Build simple business applications and keep track of your data with these
worthy open source alternatives.

1. Libreoffice Base
2. DB Browser for SQLite
3. Kexi
4. nuBuilder Forte

Bill Gates told an audience at the University of Washington. "And as long as
they're going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of
addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next
decade.

I never tried it but it might be able to do a ODBC/JDBC connection to

Nice. It says on the Github site:

https://github.com/dbeaver/dbeaver

Free multi-platform database tool for developers, SQL programmers, database
administrators and analysts. Supports any database which has JDBC driver
(which basically means - ANY database). Commercial versions also support
non-JDBC datasources such as MongoDB, Cassandra, Couchbase, Redis,
BigTable, ScyllaDB, DynamoDB, etc. You can find the list of all databases
supported in commercial versions here.

Still, thanks for bringing that one up.

Can Access handle spatial data? Note: I do not mean whatever magic Esri
used for the 'personal database' with Access.

I immediately wondered: “can SQLite handle spatial data?”. And the

<https://www.gaia-gis.it/fossil/libspatialite/index>.

Even the ESRI people seem to know about this:
<https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/databases/spatially-enable-sqlilte.htm>.
Are they supporting open-source data formats now??
