[ale] linux m$ access db server solution ?

[James Kinney]

ODBC is a protocol that lets various clients access various servers.
PostgreSQL and MySql have ODBC access. It is generally possible to dump
from one DBMS and then input the dump, with proper field massaging into
another DBMS. It is not, however, a trivial task unless the data size is
small and well defined. 

M$ access supports ODBC. So it is quite possible to have a Linux
MySQL/PostgreSQL backend server. You will need to get the specific ODBC
interface driver for the specific server you chose.
