Jet is the SQL database engine used by Microsoft Windows. It is also used by Microsoft Access. For Java Emitter Templates, see `java-emitter-templates` and `eclipse-jet`

Microsoft Jet is a SQL database engine that is used by the Microsoft Windows operating system.

It is an embedded database engine: just a library of functions used by applications that need SQL-based database functionality, with databases just being files on disk; just like SQLite or FireBird.

Jet databases usually have the extension .mdb. They are commonly known as Microsoft Access databases. This is because Microsoft Access, an application that provides a GUI frontend for creating and querying SQL-based databases, has always used Jet as its default database engine, and it is the de facto standard for examining the contents of an existing Jet database. However, Access can easily connect to other types of databases, and Jet databases can easily be used from other applications.

The latest version of Jet, used in Windows 7, is 4.0; the latest version of Access no longer uses Jet, but a successor with a different name, ACE.

For Java Emitter Templates, see
