python + access + odbc + linux

Hi,

I understand that access can be accessed through an ODBC driver under
windows (instead of Jet).

I am wondering if the same can be done under Linux.

Regards,

Philippe

As far as I know, no. But there is that http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net/
that may help you, but when I tried I had limited success.

Hi, I've been down so many dead ends trying to get something working, so I'm really hoping someone can help out.

I've tried building DCOracle2, but it seems that the 'oracle-installclient-basic' thing I downloaded from the Oracle site doesn't contain enough. I've tried various other approaches, such as mxODBC/iODBC, but without much luck. I'm...

I'm getting my feet wet with making Python talk to MySQL via ODBC. I started on Windows, and it went smoothly enough due to the ODBC stuff that apparently is native to Python at least on windows (I've been following ch. 13 of Mark Hammond's py on win32 book). But now I'm trying to do equivalent stuff on linux (Fedora Core 3) with python 2.3.5 and mysql. I'd like to stick with packages that are native to python, rather than relying on...

Hi, I'm fairly new to Python so please pardon any dumbness on my part. I plan to write an app in Python that will run on Linux and would need to connect to Oracle and MySQL. I could use MySQLdb for MySQL and cx_oracle for Oracle, but 2 different APIs in the same app is kind of painful. So I have unixODBC that gives me ODBC on Linux. The best ODBC access

I have several Access databases that I want to publish (or make available) through our web-pages. The problem...our web server is on a Linux-Apache machine while our Access db is obviously on a Windows (2000) machine...all on the same network. Short of rebuilding my databse on MySQL/etc is there any way to "point" a PHP web application through the Linux webserver to the Access db on the Windows box?

We have a webserver, Apache, hosted on Linux and we use php as the scripting language. Now, I am developing a form which will fill up a Microsoft Access database (on a Windows machine). For this one needs to use an ODBC connection. Now php has default ODBC support (http://us2.php.net/odbc ), but I do not think this supports MS Access. My question is what driver manager/drivers do i need to install for this: one option was unixODBC, but...
