Access Database for Mac-Replacement

What is the application for mac that is the most similar to Microsoft Access? I used to use it in my PC days, and it was so much easier to use than free mac solutions I've tried such as NeoOffice Database. I was hoping to find an app in the <100 range, so FileMaker was not an option for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

FileMaker is so superior in every way to Access that Microsoft gave up updating Access for use with their Office suite for the Mac, but instead ensured that FileMaker works seemlessly with both Word and Excel. (being cross-platform, FileMaker also quickly became the database of choice on PCs.)
But you don't absolutely need the latest (and therefore most expensive) version of Filemaker. Any version from FM6 upwards will work with Office, as well as on OSX. Older versions are readily available on eBay for a song.

MS Access equivalent for Mac

Hi there,
Does anyone know if there is a decent MS Access equivalent for Mac ... and please do not say FileMaker as it has a different interface and table management logic that I do not really understand (Is it good enough to make it worth trying to learn?)
If there is something that works like access (queries, multiple tables, relationships etc.) I would be very happy to take a look at it.
Cheers

Hi,

But remember: Filemaker IS the database for Mac and it is FAR better than Access.

How do i access word for mac on my macbook air?

how do i access word for mac on my macbook air?

Purchase it. Here's one link to an Amazon site to buy one of the many Office configurations:

You would receive Office on a CD, and need a disk drive for your MacBook Air to access so you could download the software.

MS-Office for Mac versions 2004 and older do not run in Lion since these are PPC-apps for which Apple has dropped support.
Free alternatives to open Word and Excel files:
NeoOffice http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php

Or get the 2011 MS-Office

Just updated to osx, can't access quicken for Mac anymore

I just uploaded OSX to my I-Mac. I like the upgrade but it does not support quicken for Mac 2007 and suddenly I cannot access it. I can purchase quicken essentials for Mac but need to know how I can access the old records and transfer them to the new program. The new upgrade will not open the old files. Do I need to remove the upgrade first?

Quicken has an upgrade for Qicken that will run on a Mac. It is not Quicken Essentials, as far as I know.

Quicken for Mac replacement - won't work with Lion

Quicken has sent an announcement to users confirming that Quicken for Mac 2005-2007 will not work with Lion, and encourage these users to begin using Quicken Essentials. Obviously this is not an option for many. I'm going to try out iBank 4 as a full replacement for Quicken for Mac, although I understand online bill pay is not supported.
Any other former Quicken for Mac users using iBank 4? Would love to hear your thoughts about it.

Just to add to the thread..
As Quicken will not be supporting the Mac Lion Update, I will require a replacement financial/banking software package for Quicken 2007.
I tried Quicken Essentials but it does not do what I need.
I am looking for the following features:
Check Printing
Memorized Transactions (QuickFill in Quicken)
Custom Reports
Memorized Reports
Scheduled Transactions
I do not need investment/budget/online banking features.
Sure would appreciate some advice!
Many thanks!

MS Access alternative for Mac? Filemaker and Bento no longer available?

Hi,
I need to create a database to track employee training, certifications, etc. Started working in Access but just realized that doesn't work on a Mac. I tried creating something in Excel but it is too much info to manage in a spreadsheet. I've looked into FileMaker and Bento but they no longer seem to be available. Any suggestions? I have Microsoft Office 2011 and I would need more than just read-only funtion in Access so Crossover/Parallels don't seem like a viable route.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Bento is gone, but FileMaker is still available. FileMaker 13 was just introduced in December.

Welcome to the discussions, Sarsquirrel.
Have you looked at Bento?

Database for Mac

I Use FileMaker Pro, but I feel Apple could do better (ease of use) and do it more elegantly. MS Access was the only Microsoft program I missed when I switched to Mac years ago. Do others out there feel similarly?
Plus a version for iOS.
Posted here for want of a better location.

There's Filemaker. There's also Oracle, Sybase, MySQL...

Creative Centrale for Mac + Replacement Download?

Hi,
Several years ago I bought a Zen Touch 2 and installed Creative Centrale onto my home computer (Windows). Since then I have upgraded to an Apple Macbook Pro and no longer have the installation disc nor my old computer. This means I don't have a copy of Creative Centrale and I have not been able to update firmware or properly manage my music! Is there some way of getting the application and does it even exist on Mac?
Thanks

Hi ValkyrieCain99,
I'm afraid that Creative Centrale is not compatible on a Mac OS.

Issues accessing Office for Mac 2011 files and sluggish or no response when in programs after Yosemite installation.

I need to use Excel daily - ever since I upgraded both to Yosemite and updated Office 2011 to the most current version, I have had issues opening documents. When I go to open a file from Excel (or Word, or PP), the response is unbelievably sluggish - 30 seconds to minutes when moving the cursor down 1 or 2 files to select. If I am lucky enough to get to the file, the performance within Excel is painfully slow (30 seconds + to move the cursor 1 cell). I can quickly open files from Finder directly, but still have the same performance issues within Excel. I have: 1) reinstalled the latest Office Update, 2) uninstalled and reinstalled Office, performed disk repair (using Disk Utility), cleaned the cache. All to no avail. I have performed full system virus scans (no issues). I have a 13" MacBook Pro (purchased July of 2013). I need help - I am unable to do my job. Any one else experiencing similar issues? Found a solution?

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Download and re-install the 10.10.1 update.

DB structure when replacing XE in place of Three Access Databases.

We have an application which has three access databases for offline access. For online access we use Oracle 10g. Now we want to replace these three access databases with XE. the three offline dbs are for the use of keeping some downlaoded data, transaction data and reporting data. Two of the Access databases have same schema and same tables. How do i replicate similar structure with XE as there is a limitation that we can not create more than 1 database. Please suggest.

The concept of a 'database' is different.
You can have three separate schemas in a single XE database. A schema belongs to a user.
If we call your three Access databases, TOM, DICK and HARRY, we create three users in XE called TOM, DICK and HARRY.
We migrate the Access TOM to the XE TOM, and so on.
In XE, TOM can have a table called ORDERS, and so can DICK and HARRY.
If TOM is logged in, he will see TOM's ORDERS table, HARRY will see HARRY's and DICK will see DICK's.
If we have another user (eg SUE), you would GRANT privileges on TOM's tables to SUE.
SUE can select from TOM.ORDERS. You could also add grants to SUE from HARRY and/or DICK, and SUE can select from DICK.ORDERS.
You can create a SYNONYM in SUE called ORDERS to point to TOM's ORDERS table, or (more flexibly) issue an ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA=TOM so that any reference that SUE makes to ORDERS are interpreted as referring to TOM.ORDERS.

Database access tool for Java Development

Hi,
A couple of days back, our SAP's database (MSSQL) was corrupted and downed the Java Stack.
During the Java development, normally after a newly created table was deployed via Java Dictionary, Java developer will access the database via the MSSQL Enterprise Manager to view/delete/update data. Unlike the ABAP development, all database access was done via SE16 in SAPGUI. It was believed that the Java Development kind of direct access to the database via the MSSQL Enterprise Manager was causing some MSSQL tables to be corrupted, and thus downed the Java Stack.
1. Is there any tool like SE16 to access database during the Java Development?
2. If no, what kind of recommendation/tool to access database for Java Development?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Julius,
There are no industry recommended open source DB tools.
Normally it depends upon the developer preferences that how he/she wants to see the tool usability.
I can suggest you to go through the below link:
http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_of_search=soft&words=SQL+Tools
You can find many open source SQL tools, which you have to test and select one among them.
I can suggest you to use:
1) TOra
2) Easy SQL
3) SQuirrel

Best of Luck
