The vast majority of Mac users can access their Notes by simply launching the “Notes” application on the Mac and finding their notes data there.” What a convoluted POC! I would prefer to put them in a hidden “Library” tucked in another “Location” outside the MacOS User Finder, if I wanted to do that. There is a settings screen where you can enable/disable each app individually for data access via cellular data: Settings → Cellular → You see the on/off switch for each app under the 'Cellular Data Usage' section. There are several other folders being used for application data / configuration, as mentioned in this answer. If writing an application, don't hardcode that path. Instead, use macOS' API to retrieve it. This question has several answers for both ObjectiveC and Swift. I am working on an app for OS X 10.9 with swift, sandboxed. The app needs access to a SQLite database file. I let the user choose/open a file with NSOpenPanel. I then save the file path with. The long ribbon of icons at the bottom of the Mac's screen is called the Dock.
LibreOffice (free) should be able to open a MS Access Database, though I don't know how much formatting it can carry over. Their database is rather clunky to use, but at least you can experiment without it costing you anything.
Failing that you should be able to export from Access as a comma-separated or tab-separated text file, which most database programs can open (though you won't carry over formatting or formulas - only the results of formulas) so a certain amount of work may be necessary to get it to behave.

This page (originally written for people abandoning 'AppleWorks') lists a number of Mac database applications:

It all depends on how complex the database is. If it's just a collection of text and numbers, with no calculations, then you shouldn't have too much trouble with it and should be able to use a fairly basic database application. Several of the applications listed in my page have free trials so that would be the next step to see whether you like the results. The ultimate database program is Filemaker Pro but it's extremely powerful and complex (and expensive) and likely much more than you need.
