Hi, For various reasons, my application needs to interface with two Microsoft Access "Applications". These databases are created by external developers and closed source. However, I do need to write some extra views to get some useful behaviour out of them. Because I can't modify the original database, my solution until now (on Windows) has been to create a new Access Database, import the original database using linked tables and then add my own view in the newest database. Changing the database links has been proven to be doable using ADO.
Clearly, on Linux there is no such thing as Microsoft Access for Linux, no such thing as ADO (not ADO.NET -- it doesn't support updating linked tables), and so forth. I was wondering if there was a way around this. Is there any way to use something like "linked tables" under Linux? How well are Access databases supported in Mono (mind you, I can not convert the databases to another format or do other funky things)? If not, does any of you know of another database program in which I can reference an Access database and add my own views? Thanks, Frederik. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
