Let me start by saying that building enterprise software on top of MS
Access is a BAD idea, it's better to use a "grown up" database such as
MS SQL, Oracle, MySQL. These databases all have native JDBC drivers,
instead of using the ODBC bridge. MySQL is a free database and MS SQL
2005 Express as well, so costs should not be a factor.
I'm sorry to be obsessive about this but I can't help correcting the
claim that MySQL is free. If you mean it is open source then you are
correct. However, unlike SQL Server Express, there are severe
restrictions on who can deploy a MySQL database without paying for it.
I have provided some more details and a comprehensive list of quality
databases that can be freely deployed at
<http://database.profectus.com.au>.

MySQL uses a standard GPL license. So it is not so much a problem
of deploying but more a problem of distributing.
You are correct and I should have used "distribute" instead of
"deploy". As far as I can tell there are no restrictions on the amount
of money you can make by deploying GPL'd software. I wonder how MySQL
AB would react if Sony started selling a MythTV
<http://www.mythtv.org/> based consumer home theater PC.
