CanDo: I'm looking to apply

CanDo:

I'm looking to apply for a job and it seems they require a lot of Excel and Access work. The Excel part is clear, but I'm not sure about Access.

How is Microsoft Access or other database software used in S&T, especially in commodity trading?

no idea...but interested to hear as well.

I know it can be used as a powerful contact manager, but not sure what else it's usually used for...
