Is there a replacement for mdbtools?

Question

I'm using mdbtools' SQL functionality to connect to an .mdb file on linux. Mdbtools is still beta and hasn't been updated since 2007, many features like sufficient SQL support aren't available yet.

Features I need:

• SQL, either with python bindings or through ODBC.
• AS statement in SQL operations.
• JOIN if possible.
• Runs on non-windows.
• Sub-selects would be really handy.
• Write support is not necessary.

Is there a replacement for it that is actively being developed?

Answer 1

MDBtools is again an active project, hosted on github:

https://github.com/brianb/mdbtools

It appears to be 'official', in that the github account hosting the repository was registered by the original author of mdbtools, Brian Bruns.

He is accepting patches, there is an active-ish issue queue, etc.
