MDB Formatted File Driver

This driver provides read-only access to MDB files, as produced by the MicroSoft Access(tm) database. It uses the MDBTOOLS library (see http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net/) and has the limitations of that library. The MDB file is specifed in the database setting of the database connection.

Currrently, the SQL which can be used with the CSV driver is extremely limited, and is the same as for the CSV driver, except that column type information is used.

If is hoped to extend the SQL to be the same as supported by the XBase driver in a future release, and/or to use the SQL layer which is being developed as part of MDBTOOLS.

Note that this drived requires at least the 0.6 pre-release MDB code; it will not build with the 0.5 release.
