The fun with .mdb format
We can see an attempt to reuse mdbtoos by OpenOffice.org v. 2.0.
Thanks to Martin Ellis' contribution we have recently more than nothing done (also by reusing mdbtools, not commited yet) in this department within Kexi too.
I've started to publish our thoughts and discussions about gothas in this part of the development. There is also related log on Cross-DB-Engine Queries (don't lament if it's not very informative for now..).
