Microsoft Access, part of the Microsoft Office Suite, is a database management system for Windows that combines the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a graphical user interface and software-development tools. Microsoft Access stores data in its own.
Click to expand.Apple now includes Pages, Numbers and Keynote with all Macs. I like Pages and Numbers but suspect users coming from Office won't. However, Keynote destroys Powerpoint utterly.
As far as databases, you're entering the 'Nix world with a Mac and there are lots to choose from. Various SQL based varieties generally, all free. MySQL offers tools to migrate your data out of access and there are other options that are just a google away. As others have said, LibreOffice includes the 'Base' tool which may also suit.
Then there's the option of just running your Windows software on your Mac - you can do this by using a virtualisation tool like VMWare or VirtualBox and then you can just run the Windows tools you need directly on your Mac. If you've still got your Windows software licenses, you should just be able to install a fresh Windows in VirtualBox and then install Office in that. These virtual environments integrate nicely with the Mac (especially VMWare which I use) so they can even launch the Windows applications from Finder. Class CustomerAdmin ( admin.
ModelAdmin ): listdisplay = ( 'code', 'name', 'phone' ) searchfields = 'code', 'name' ) ordering = ( 'name' ) You get a full admin interface with searching. Django auto-magically make it work, and you don't need to write html/js/css for the auto-generated admin site. It is fairly customizable in ways that are close to the capabilities of Acces (and more). Django can work with postgresql (and the best way to install it: ), mysql, sqlite and others. The good thing of doing this is that you are not as limited as with a tool like acces, and exist TONS of info about django. The bad is that you need some programming skills if wanna step-out the automatic admin generation for more 'complex' work. And that don't exist nothing like the Acces Report generator included on django or any other kind of software tool I can think of.
I've been using Windows Access since 1993 and Excel since 1990 (Mac) and 1993 (Windows). There's no real substitute on the Mac platform for Access, although Excel's file size has allowed deeper/larger data sources for a few years. I've managed to use Excel to provide a data resource for products that Access was the only option until a few years ago.
I tried Filemaker but found it was a pretty weak option for larger data pools. I've been 'all in' on the Mac platform for over a decade and wished for a competent alternative for Access - UNIX is so much more powerful than anything on Windows - but I'm still using Access. My solution was to sign up for Office 365 Home and Office, so I get Access in that package. I use Parallels 10 and Windows 8.1, with Access 2013 installed on that partition. I bought a year's subscription to Office 365 via Amazon - a 40% discount over MS's cost. I get Access 2013 for about $3 per month after the cost of Parallels ($50 upgrade) and Win 8.1 ($40).
And I don't have to ask for the 'Mac equivalent question' you did. I also won't use Excel 2011 as a substitute for Excel 2013. I've been using Excel since version 4 in college. Excel 2013, and its database size may be what you're looking for. MS's newer iterations may be nice to use, but Excel 2013's file size (huge) may serve what you're looking for - it's working for me and my small company. Excel 2011 is too gimped and there's nothing I can think of on the Mac platform that can compete with MS's offerings on Windows.
Click to expand.The most recent version of PowerPoint for the Mac is 2011 (which is basically 2010 for Windows) and I've used both it and KeyNote. Of the two, KeyNote is by far the better tool for putting together a set of slides. I'm less fond of the current version of KeyNote so I've kept 09 around too but the latest version does gain many points due to the integration between KeyNote for Mac and iOS because on my iPad I can see the next slide, I can control the presentation and I can even turn on a pointer or pen and annotate sides as I go. Seriously, it is really good.
Heck, I can happily sit and edit slides on my iPhone or iPad and as it is all integrated with iCloud those changes are there on the Mac too. I'm sure MS has some similar features but they always seem to find a way to cripple things just a bit to get you to pay more. With the Mac, all this stuff comes with the machine.
