Microsoft Access 2000 databases do not use a server to perform the
transactions. This limits security and flexibility. PostgreSQL and MySQL
are both rely on a database server (similar to that of Microsoft SQL
server). If the database is going to grow to over 50 or 100 MB I would not
use Access. If your database is very simple and will not house millions of
records than Access databases are probably adequite. Securing an Access
database may actually be easier because their is no "server", all that
needs to be secured is access to the database file. Securing PostgreSQL
and MySQL is a little bit more involved because the server application
needs to be secured which can usually be done by using a good firewall and
strict database access controll lists.
