Microsoft Access MDB

Content

[...]
In my case the Engine added following 64bit drivers:
- Microsoft Access dBASE Driver (*.dbf, *.ndx, *.mdx)
- Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)
- Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)
- Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)

 
**And how about Linux ?**
 
 
You need Access Drivers as well, but Microsoft does not provide them. There are some 3rd party [MdbTools](https://github.com/mdbtools/mdbtools) or [EasySoft](https://www.easysoft.com/products/data_access/odbc-access-driver/index.html#section=tab-1), but their are either not-perfect or expensive. Plus there is [Unix ODBC](http://www.unixodbc.org/). 
 
 
For Java there are [Java JDBC](http://www.hxtt.com/access.html), [Jackcess](https://jackcess.sourceforge.io/) and [Ucanaccess](http://ucanaccess.sourceforge.net/site.html).
 
 
**And how about Docker ?**
 
As far as I know you cannot run Windows images under Linux so you will not be able to use the ODBC-advantage of Windows in this case.
 
You can use Linux images under Windows, but I think there is no way how to access the ODBC drivers from virtual Linux. You would have to try it, I haven't tested it yet.
