Feedback about JDBC Type 4 Driver for Microsoft Access

Question

Hi,

we need some data which is stored on several Microsoft Access databases on our servers, and our application will be executed on a Linux machine.

So, our only alternative consist in using a JDBC Type 4 driver. In our research, we found two alternatives:

• HXTT - http://www.hxtt.com/access.html
• StelsMDB - http://www.csv-jdbc.com/stels_mdb_jdbc.htm

Has anyone here ever used one of these? How was your experience? Are they really good? Can we trust them?

Answer 1

We bought the StelsMDB driver and the result (and the pricing) is good.

Our application is not very complex but enough to break the ODBC-JDBC bridge.

Answer 2

If the databases are in Access 2000 format you could take a look at Jackcess: http://jackcess.sourceforge.net/
