agaffney has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I need to write a script that queries a MS Access database (in a .mdb file). The file itself is sitting on the Linux box which this script will be running from. The program that uses the DB runs on a Windows box and accesses the .mdb file via a samba share.
What are my options for accessing this DB from the Linux side? Can I read from the .mdb file directly with some module? Can I use DBD::ODBC to access the DB across the network?
