Operating legacy MDB with Java 8 (access 2.0)

Java 8 no longer supports JDBC - ODBC bridges Is there a way to access old MDB files without a bridge in Java 8? According to heritage, I mean access 2.0 This old version does not support ucanaccess, which is recommended here

Solution

Not sure which database you use - but limited use may open more options

>Try installing the database using Microsoft Access database engine 2010 redistributable components You may need exclusive access to the database. > Can you export the database to a flat file or import it into another JDBC enabled database format? Access or other database formats? Database replication required – may be for reporting only or read-only access. > Set up a synchronization process to mirror the database to modern Some in memory Java type options: H2 / Derby / SQLite You may need to change the table structure to include and manage the last modified date. > Migrate access 2 database to SQL server or other modern multi - user database

Include this information here in case you can access some intermediate versions of access What doesn't work:

>Jackcess & stelsmdb supports Access 2000 > hxtt supports access 95
