Looking to replace MS Access Databse

[Sean Odonnell]

I am looking to use Jira to replace a MS Access Database. Can anyone confirm Jira has this capability and would have a similar look/feel to the MS Access database we have been using for years

Jira is not going to be a replacement for a database.  Jira is an issue tracker, not a database.

If you mean you have been using an access database for issue tracking of some sort, then yes, Jira is good at issue tracking and you will probably be able to import some of your data from the database so you can carry on issue tracking with familiar data.  I very much doubt it'll look the same as whatever you are front-ending the database with though, unless you've built that front-end to look like Jira!

@Sean Odonnell you can create a free Jira trial in order to validate whether your requirements are covered by Jira as a proof of concept.

Thanks to you both, I do currently use Jira for my D2D tracking.

Curious why you got into Jira?

It would depend on a lot of things. Number of items, columns, Visual Basic scripts, interfaces with other databases. Not a question can that can be simply answered. Jira was never designed as a database...

I am using Jira for everything else in my D2D so was hoping I could add a database in there as well but it is not looking that way. Will also take suggestions on comparable database program that I can use to replace access
