Hi all, For my own use, I access mdb's through ODBC access and it works fine. It is not quite user-friendly since you first have to define a user or system dsn and then fill the connection form in qgis. Bigger problem for me, I deployed QGis on 5 Citrix servers (300 users), and user-defined-DSN's are disabled for security reasons.. Access to the MS DSN manager is locked too.. *So I have no way to allow qgis users to read MS Access mdb's. *
I have seen that OGR 1.9 allows optionnal direct access connections: http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_mdb.html http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_mdb.html . So, my question: Is it reasonnable (technically) to ask for direct access to mdb's databases in Qgis? Is it hard work or not? Do we need to use Java Jackcess library as mentionned in OGR doc? Is it an OGR issue instead of Qgis? I would be pleased to know if I'm alone with this concern.. thanks for your feedbacks /NB: I do want classical access to non geographical tables and not esri's mdb layers. / -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/direct-mdb-read-in-QGis-tp4637313p4637313.html Sent from the Quantum GIS - Developer mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
