I am trying to confirm is anyone has ever succeeded using CF on *nix to connect to Microsoft Access? (Bonus points if it is on Solaris :)
NOTE: I do not want any taunts or teasing for asking about this. I am not considering doing this. I do, however, have a friend who due to bureaucratic rigmarole would benefit it they can get a CF/Solaris/Access configuration working while they transition to other databases. I see that there are JDBC drivers for Access (Jackcess<http://jackcess.sourceforge.net/faq.html>, MDB Tools <http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net/>, and Jakarta POI<http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/>). So I figure that this should be doable since: - ColdFusion is Java (since version MX/6) - Java talks to data files using drivers, e.g. JDBC or a JDBC-to-ODBC bridge - .MDB is a dumb file format I am asking because before my friend puts in more time on this, it would be nice to know if anyone in the CF community has succeded in getting a CF/*nix/Access configuration working. OFF LIST REPLIES ARE OK BY ME.
