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

   Knoda [http://www.knoda.org/] is a database frontend for KDE. Besides
tables and queries, Knoda lets you create forms and reports, scriptable
via Python. With its latest 0.7.4-test1 release, Knoda 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.

     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.
