Re: [cobalt-users] MicroSoft Access

> I need to know if I can place a Microsoft Access 2000 database on a Cobalt
Cube 3, and have it run. The db will be accessed using a JDBC connection or
by using linked tables from a clients desktop. Suns sales ppl have assured
me this works however I cannot find anything in their sales info that says
they support Access on the Cube, and I do not want to buy one just to find
out.

Hi Joe.

I'm afraid you won't be able to host an Access database on a Linux OS - this
isn't a limitation of Cobalts' just a long standing MS licensing issue I
believe! If you were on a RaQ I would say use the included SequeLink
software to connect your server to another (Win) machine hosting the
database.

As it's a Qube I'm not 100% sure. Hopefully someone else will be able to
assist?? Maybe you could use Samba or something to hook a drive.

Good luck!
