I would like to move some users off of MS Access and onto an open-source DB like MySQL, Postegres, or even SQLite. Transferring the tables from one DB to another is no problem, but I need to be able to also provide them with a similar UI as the MS Access forms they are using to input the data. Additionally, I would like to be able to give them nice report outputs that reference a table or query.
What open-source alternatives are suggested/available for easily building and storing queries, forms, and reports similar to MS Access, without a ton of programming needed to get them up-and-running quickly?
Obviously I am immediately targeting Windows alternatives, but I don't want to limit suggestions to just one OS.
Open Office - Base seems to be a good option
We were to solve this problem also and considered OO Base not being very good option (note it was like 4 years ago). So we use MS Access as a frontend with ODBC connection to mysql database. It works quite well.

I know that there are many tools for the visualization of databases such as metabase, grafana, tableau, superset ...
But I don't know of any packaged software that allows CRUD operations (crete, read, update and delete) on a database.
This problem has been presented to me several times in several of my projects, wanting to make a table available to a user and that does not merit custom development. I bet a lot of people must have this same situation
But I have not found any packaged software that provides crud operations on a database table. So it seems extremely strange to me and I wanted to see why, is there a design problem in this functionality? Or am I just doing the wrong google search and these softwares have another name?
Do you mean something like a Database Management Tool?
You have plenty of them, personally I use DBeaver.
If you mean about frameworks which generate a boilerplate API with CRUD operations, you have Loopback, from IBM.
And if you mean something you could access as a web-application, then you have PHPMyAdmin if you're focused into MySQL/MariaDB.

Hi I have been given a task to design tool to monitor database server health like cpu usage, memory usage etc. Now there is one such tool like MySQL Spotlight. I want to know is there any open source software available with same functionalities? I want software which has nice visualization with charts. Please guide. Thanks in advance.
You could use Cacti for this. Also look at Nagios.
Check out http://code.openark.org/forge/mycheckpoint. It is an open sourced monitoring tool, primarily for db monitoring, even including custom queries and custom alerts! Graphs come pre-packaged and pre-generated. It's written in python, so mods can added to the code easily. I've used it a bit, and it seems to work pretty well. The only caveat I see is the extensive schema that comes pre-packaged which, ostensibly, can't be customized. One thing I will note for the email alerts, if you're getting login or credential alerts, go to line 4338 of the code and just add what you need to the smtplib.SMTP instance.

I'm pretty new to CouchDB. I have googled without finding a database viewer for CouchDB.
How do you view a CouchDB database without manipulating the raw HTTP messages ?
Ideally, the tool would meet the following requirements :
Cross-platform (Windows or Linux mainly)
Desktop application or Web application
Allow editing of documents, databases etc
There is built-in web application that allows you to manage CouchDB instance -- http://guide.couchdb.org/draft/tour.html#welcome
And your question is very ambiguous. You ask for the web application as option but without "a classic browser" you cannot use it.
In case you don't find Futon very intuitive, please checkout CouchDB Query Explorer. The tool is aimed at providing an intuitive approach to configure & use. Define your own fields & filters. Querying is as simple as selecting one or more filters. For more information please visit here

I have the following scenario. I need a db to store XML messages that have been created by a reader. I then want to use a transport (wcf) to read the db external to the populating app and send the messages to a central db Generally the db needs to run on mono, and windows.
I did look at sqlite3, and it seemed to fit all my requirements, but i'm reading its not so good on multi process access and t's moving away from my sweet spot, these last couple of days.
Thanks.
Have you considered just using XML to store the data? It doesn't get any more portable than that and will work fine as long your client-side storage needs are simple. E.g. not a large amount of many domain objects that need to be stored.
Additionally using an XML data store solves a lot of setup and installation headaches. You simply reference a file (or files) relative to your executable. You don't need to worry about installing db engines for a variety of platforms and then worry about upgrading.
WOuld it be feasible to give each process their own sqlite3 database? They all ultimately use the central database anyway, right?
Have a look at Firebird.
You can use it as an embedded engine just like SQLite, but it can scale to a full blown server as well.
The only drawback is, that the documentation is a mess

I need open source database that I can ship with my commercial application.
It should not have any installation (i.e., no window service and no setup).
It can be single user database. It should work in Windows environment and used from Java code.
Thanks
I really like SQLite. You can use it with java via SQLiteJDBC. It is very good embedded database. For Java, it might be easier to use Derby though.
You might also want to look at HSQL and H2, which are both open source embedded databases written in Java.
Firebird Embedded - just needs couple of DLL files and you have full database in your hands. Have been using it for years.
How to use it in Java
Look into SQLite. I haven't used it, but I've had apps that claimed to use it, and I couldn't tell the difference.
How about SQLite?
It has good performance, and with one user you don't have to worry about concurrency.
