A better alternative to Microsoft Access? : <p>I've been using Microsoft Access for a few years but I'm starting to lament the lack of command line in the development interface. I use a couple of command line prompt programs for design and web development, so when I have to do something in Access, it seems so slow to have to scroll through Form Properties and Access Objects to find what I want to edit. </p>

<p>I'm wondering what other options are out there for making personal use databases (just desktop, don't need web). I'm just interested in solutions that I could implement as an individual, not on a corporate scale. </p>

<p>Or maybe there's a plugin or workflow for Access that I don't know about?</p>
