Populate a MS Access database in Linux

Question

Is there any way to create an Access / Jet database from within Linux?

I'm trying to feed data from a linux application server (mysql backend) and have not found any tools that let me do this - it seems there should be something.

If I can't create a database, is there a way to insert into an existing Access database file from within Linux?

CLI tool, wrapper to SQL command file, C library, Ruby library, anything?

Thanks.

There is a java library called jackcess that can write to Access mdb files from any platform that can run a jvm.
