Microsoft Access MDB

[...]
- "ODBC Data Sources 64-bit"
- (Just hit the Win-key and type "ODBC")
Open the one you need, go to tab "System DSN" and click "Add". You will see what drivers are available - **only these drivers can be used in the DSN String!!**
If only "SQL Server" is present, then you need to install the Access Engine (or MS Access) with drivers for your platform. You need driver named cca "Microsoft Access Driver (\*.mdb, \*.accdb)"
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 the MS 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.
