Hello all. I have a very simple question. I have a bunch of MS ACCESS files that have tables in them. If these tables were in .CSV format I would be able to work with them just fine. I'm totally unfamiliar though with DBI or DBD and SQL queries. Can anyone post a quick dirty solution for how to just export the table data?

Thanks

PROBLEM SOLVED THANKS TO THE GENIUS THAT IS BART!!

Here is a link to a set of tools that you can manipulate ms access files from: http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net/install/x53.htm

UPDATE 2:

These tools are really complicated.

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
