Re: connecting MSACCESS DB thru PERL using APACHE SERVER?

There does not appear to be a lot of support for direct access into .mdb files.

However may I suggest you look at http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net/, there may be some functionality that can assist.

Update: Hmm I've been down modded already for this answer, which is curious. Yes there is tons of ODBC support for Access however the author of this question never suggested he had Access actually running.. I was under the impression he wanted a means of getting into a .mdb file directly..

Er, you don't need Access actually running to use the ODBC driver which itself goes directly to the .mdb file. The mdbtools also are trying to provide some degree of support for ODBC access on Unix. /J\	[reply]

Ah I see.. good answer.. I've learnt something today then.. that ODBC drivers can read .mdb files with Access! Very useful tip. Thanks!	[reply]
