Microsoft Word is a word processor - a program used to create textual documents (e.g. letters, essays, books, manuals). Its end product is designed for a human reading it. Some of its competitors are WordPerfect and KWord.
Microsoft Access is a database - a program used to store relational information (e.g. customer data, payroll, scientific data, financial data) in the computer and retrieve parts of it according to a user's need. Some of its competitors are mysql and Oracle.
Oracle is like a Ferrari. MS Access is like a Saturn. Oracle is intricate but also very powerful and well written. MS Access is a database program that general users can use--more user friendly and easier to learn. However, it is not designed for large databases.
Oracle is multi-user where MS-Access is not.
Oracle's features for distributed transactions, materialized views and replication are not available with MS Access. These features enable Oracle to efficiently store data for multinational companies across the globe. Also these features increase scalability of applications based on Oracle. We can't create sequence in Microsoft Access.We craete sequence in Oracle. Oracle database is more secured than MS-Access. Oracle can handle a database having million records very efficiently, but MS-Access has no such quality like Oracle. oracle is client server technology based while Ms-Access is not. Oracle follow 11 rule of E.F CODD and access follow 7 rule, oracle give better query performance in comparison to access, oracle perform high security feature like system manager, oracle can store unlimited data in access limit.
Access is a Database and Excel is a spreadsheet. They are designed for different tasks. Databases deal with list of data and the processing of them. Spreadsheets are mainly working with numbers, doing all sorts of calculations and analysis on them. There are things that both can do and data is sometimes exchanged between them. If you wanted to work out the income and expenditure of a company, that is more appropriate for a spreadsheet. If you wanted to get a list of the suppliers to the business and find out which ones supply particular products, that would be something that would be more appropriate for a database.
as far as the matter of difference between excel spreadsheet and access is that access spreadsheet is more important to create a DBMS rather than an excel spread sheet is used to enter data and to do mathematical calculations using formulas and in built functions.

You can link Excel spreadsheets to Access databases, and a database table is a type of spreadsheet. Databases like 'Access' are "relational", meaning you can create two or more tables of data with some common link between each such as a name or company address repeated in both, to facilitate entering the raw data and analysing it in different ways, such as in the example above. Spreadsheets do not have this linking ability, beyond rather limited cell cross-references.
You need to establish which to use for your purpose. For data that can be expressed in a set of simple 2-D tables, such as library catalogues, and for mathematical calculations, the spreadsheet is more appropriate and easier to set up, and far less memory-hungry than a database for the same data.
As an example, you want to track your product logistics for your business. You create an Access database for this. In it, you have a table of vendors, a table of quantity on hand, A table showing where each item of stock is located on a shelf, in a rack, in an aisle, in a warehouse, another table telling you when materials expire and when to re-order. The tables would all be related one to another by a key such as a unique part code. With that code, you relate your components A, B & C to Widget 123, relate the pricing structure of the vendors to your components, and relate what's in inventory to re-order points and reports to production on sales forecasts and projections.
An Excel spreadsheet could do something similar for a very small-scale operation but, as the business grew, the spreadsheet would soon become so huge and cumbersome filling all of that information, of which there would be many of the same data entered multiple times, that you would be wasting time making entries and trying to make satisfactory reports from it.
Think of Excel tables as '2-dimensional' and Access databases as '3-dimensional'. The tables created by Excel are regularly referred to as 'flat'.
Fundamentally, access is used to store and manage data, excel is used to analyze it.
Word is a program that is used to write letters, while Access is a database system that is used to store large quantities of related data.
Other than that they are both used in an Office environment Access and Word are completely unrelated programs.
MySQL uses coding to make a database whereas Access is software where you make the tables without the coding.
Access is a database application. Other Microsoft applications do other functions (depending on the application, of course). For example, Word is a word processor and Excel is a spreadsheet.
The difference between Access and Oracle is Access has minimum security features and you can create a small to medium sized database. Oracle has NY security, which allows you to determine who can or can not get access to your data. Access you can't add too many users without it getting slow, and Oracle allows you to add thousands if you want to.

what is the difference between sqlplus and sqlsever SQL*PLUS is oracle command line utility that allows access to Oracle databases sqlserver is a Microsoft RDBMS (database management system), vaguely based on a Sybase RDBMS if you are looking for SQL*PLUS like interface to SQL Server, the one one is SQLS*PLUS from www.memfix.com
Oracle is a RDBMS software, means, Oracle holds the database (data created/updated using application). Visual basic is tool to develop applications & this is from Microsoft. You can write programs/application to access the data from the RDBMS like Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, etc. Since the functionality differs (i.e. Oracle = RDBMS & Visual basic =Application development Tool) for the two software applications, "which one is the best" can not be answered.

My sql, Microsoft sql , Microsoft Access, dBase, Filemaker pro are the examples for dbms and oracle and sql server are the examples for rdbms
They are just different versions of Oracle.
SQL Server is Microsoft's relational database product. SQL*Plus is the command line tool to access Oracle's database product.
Have your form's input insert into a database (SQL, Oracle, etc) then access that database through Access's ODBC connection.
Microsoft Excel and Access offer the ability to interface with a Oracle database. This is provided through the Office Suite.
