Has anyone successfully dumped data out of an Access database using Open Source?
I need to dump data out of an Access database (.mdb file) into a simple tab-delimited file. Some possible solutions:
1) install Windows and Access
2) install Windows, OpenOffice.org, and ODBC
3) under Linux, install CrossOver office and install Access
4) under Linux, install OpenOffice.org CrossOver office, install the Microsoft Jet Engine, configure UNIX-ODBC (adapted from http://dba.openoffice.org/FAQ/FAQ.html#msaccess)
Ideally, I'd like to boot Knoppix or some other live CD, open the .mdb file with something, and then dump the data. Given all the options, the only one that I know that works is option 1. Has anyone tried any of the other solutions? Anyone know of other solutions?
