[wplug] Any tools to read ACCESS database?

[John Harrold]

Sometime in August dlshepherd at adelphia.net assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Are there any tools on Linux (currently using RedHat 8, 9 or Enterprise)
| to read a MSFT Access database?
| 
| I want to get the data out and into an Oracle database.

Pick your favorite P -- P{erl|ython|HP}. Mine happens to be Perl. You can
use the DBI [1] drivers, specifically the DBIx::MSAccess::Convert2Db [2]
which claims to be able to "Convert an MS Access database into a
MySQL/Postgres/Other database".

| I do not have a copy of Access for my use.
