I can tell you from personal experience, AVOID MS ACCESS at all costs. It is like a bit of tasty poison laced candy. It will do 95% of what you want, but then you'll run into a wall, an intentional limitation of the software that forces you to upgrade. As an example, Access used to have a forced limit of 12 concurrent users. I don't know if that still applies or not. Then you are forced to upgrade to MS SQL server because once you get data into an MS Database it is stuck. They provide numerous import options, but just a handful of export options. Use MySQL or PostGRE if you can.
