Hi,
although I am not quite a Linux newbie, I am a newbie to databases. And since there are no stupid questions here....
I am trying to convert a .mdb file into something that can be read by koffice. I am doing that for somebody else, and I am using XFCE not KDE, so I wanted to avoid installing it and imagined that things would be fine if I just installed mdbtools, which I did (0.6pre1).
Now, install succeeded and I imagined I could use one command to just convert from one file format to the next. Obviously, I was mistaken. Now I got as far as to use the mdb-scheme tool to make a scheme (?!). But now I am confuse - what next is there to do? mdb-export didnt work, or at least I dont know how, and the documentation on mdbtools is - to say it in a friendly way - worth of extending.
I am not a geek with databases at all, I just want to get the data into a Linux readable format.
Could somebody please help me out as to how to proceed?
Thanks in advance,
Blind

Does this help?

The package Knoda in the AUR will enable you to open mdb files then save the tables in an alternative format.
