mdb files

[ilanrayn]

Hi, I need a software to create an MDB file but I don't want to use msaccess, does anyone knows something like that?

The main programming languages, such as Visual Basic, have methods to work with mdb files. If this is what you are looking for, have a look in the Help system for the language, for e.g. CreateDatabase Method. This will give you mroe information.

MDB files are not all the same. You can for example read and write mdbs with Ability Office Database. However the forms etc will not be transferable to Access. What requirements do you have? Is it just data or an application?

I just need to create a DataBase with some tables (like using access) and create some query

The tables - you can use several things to build. If you mean a query as something that creates a recordset, then again you have options but how you want to see that query will determine what package you need. Access is something that provides applications services for mdb files.

How do you envisage people will see the query results?

I thought to use 2 sodtware, one is to create the tables and the other (someting like SQL) to create the query
mayby there is a way to convert CSV file to MDB file?

SQL is a good choice for working with relational databases but how do you envisage people will see the query results?

You are, so far, just talking about building tables and using SQL for queries. Whatever you plan to do, you need software tools.
SQL is just a generic language - it doesn't do anything by itself.
"mdb" files, exclusive of access, is just one of many back end software products for manipulating data - from some other language.

What software do you have or are planning to get?
