there was a question here about a way to use ms access databases on linux. i'm not sure about this, since i know nothing about databases, but the following excerpt from the freshmeat newsletter may be helpful. the product has a proprietary license, but even so may prove to be cheaper than a windows-based solution.
- t. ============================================================================= OpenLink Universal Data Access Driver Suite 4.2 (Single-Tier ODBC Drivers) by Kingsley Idehen (http://freshmeat.net/users/kidehen/) Thursday, February 14th 2002 01:49 Database :: Database Engines/Servers About: The OpenLink Universal Data Access Driver Suite is a suite of high-performance drivers for ODBC and JDBC that enable development of database-independent applications under Linux. It supports OpenLink Virtuoso, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft ACCESS, IBM DB2, Informix, Sybase, Ingres II, Progress, PostgresSQL, DBASE, Paradox, and other ODBC-compliant databases. It runs on x86, Itanium, Alpha, PPC, Mips, and StrongArm platforms. Changes: The ODBC drivers now support Linux, UNIX, and MacOS X as ODBC client environments, and are multithreaded. There is also now ODBC 3.5 compliance and direct access to supported databases without the installation of additional software on the database server.
