Knoda Meets MS Access
=====================

   With its latest release Knoda [http://www.knoda.org/] has introduced
a driver for MS Access databases (mdb files). Knoda is the first KDE
based database frontend to be able to read MS Access databases natively
and is getting closer to its goal to be a full replacement for MS
Access.

     Knoda is a database frontend for KDE. Besides tables and queries
Knoda lets you create forms and reports, scriptable via Python.

     The mdb driver is based on mdbtools
[http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net/].  Another driver has also been added
to support read-write access to Dbase (.dbf) files which is based on
Xbase.

     Also introduced with this version of Knoda is the possibility to
import and export to and from different database servers.

     Drivers for MySQL [http://www.mysql.com/], PostgreSQL
[http://www.postgresql.org/], SQLite [http://www.sqlite.org/] and ODBC
[http://www.unixodbc.org/] are also available.
