Hi again, I have played a little more with mdbtools and R. I downloaded the latest version of mdbtools from sourceforge (version 0.6pre1). Quickly scanning the mailing list suggests that ODBC seems to work with PHP but I have not been able to get it to work with R. I can make a connection to the database and when I do a query I get back the names of...

Morning everyone, I was hoping to use mdbtools to extract data from some Access databases overnight. I have yum installed the tools from Dag and also downloaded and (eventually!) compiled the latest release from the mdbtools web site, but I either get 'buffer overflow' errors or no output from most of the tools. I have been trying to cv...

I am trying to use some ms access databases in R (version 1.9.1 or 2.0 on a Debian system). In searching the net for promising software to do this, I found mdbtools. Mdbtools claims the ability to convert schemas and tables in MS Access to MySQL and other databases. http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net/ I'm wondering if anyone in the R community has tried using this software to use MS-Access databases in R with a Linux system. If so, Were you successful?...

...ry' with the same output every time. I've compacted and repaired the database. I've created other mdb's, with the same result.

Hi, Is there is anyway to Open Microsoft .mdb files in open office on Centos 5.3 ? Thanks linux

I have a geodatabase and would like to import it into GRASS, but it is in .mbf. I use mac and linux, and don't have access to access on the machines that I normally use. I do have access to access at school, but I would like to find a way around this if possible. Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions would be welcome. thanks, -- Stephen Sefick Let's not spend our time and resources

@Work requires me to manipulate the MS Access database (mdb) file located on an XP box that is an integral part of a third party application that is central to the business. Does anyone have experience doing so? I have used odbtp in the recent past but it is extremely difficult to set up on the linux box as I learned when I recently upgraded from CentOS 4.x to 5.x. Is there another way to get

I need to get read only access to a MDB database accessed from a Linux box using samba, anyone had any luck with this and know how to set it up? Please resist from posting your reasons why and MDB should not be used, I am the converted so stop preaching. The MDB is there to stay and I have to read to it. thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Dear All, I am really far from a database expert (I do prefer flat files as long as that is reasonable), but I have to deal with an accdb database (Microsoft Access new format). It all stems from the fact that I run R almost exclusively on Debian platforms. I did a bit of googling http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/How-to-load-data-from-accdb-into-R-td4656613.html
