Read an mdb (ms access) file without using ODBC

I would like to know if it's possible to read a .mdb file without the use of ODBC.

I need to write a Delphi application that reads 2 columns from a mdb file a开发者_运维百科nd writes those columns in a postgreSQL database.

Is there a trick, Delphi component or method that I can use that does not depend on ODBC.

(For some reason ODBC on my devel-laptop is broken).

If need be I can also use Delphi 2007, and I even have a version of Delphi 1,2 and 3 somewhere as well.

You can use ADODB. It is part of Delphi 2007, at least. It does not depend on ODBC or BDE: it uses OleDB/ADO instead.

long long ago, there was Data Access Objects DAO, but it appears that these are deprecated (all the way at the bottom). Still, with a bit of luck you could still find documentation for it and use it.
