Sunburst Database Information

Sunburst Database is part of Pressley Consulting Inc., which has been building custom database solutions since 1990. Pressley Consulting was founded in 1990 by Peter Pressley Ph.D., who operates the company as a consulting contractor to businesses that require software solutions. In its early years, Pressley Consulting offered programming services to large corporations, small businesses, and government agencies using a variety of operating systems and relational databases. With the advent of Microsoft Access in the early nineties, Pressley Consulting focused on this database platform for developing solutions because it was (1) inexpensive for customers (part of the Microsoft Office Pro suite), (2) powerful (full relational capabilities with support for SQL, the standard for all relational databases), and (3) offered a complete development environment for rapidly creating complete multi-user database applications (using VBA, Visual Basic for Applications, the event-driven programming language built into Microsoft Office applications).
