How to import MS-Access MDB ?

Hello,

please let me know the most straightforward way to import data from a MS-access-database into mysql using linux (ubuntu 10.04)

- Using odbc and ms-access is one way but 1) it requires ms-windows and 2) I think that this only works if the tables are already in mysql. So transferring data works but creating a mysql-database and its tables does not.

- There are tools for extracting csv-files and also mysql insert-statements from a MDB. I used that before and it works (more or less) but is a bit clumsy, 1) storing lots of data 3 times (in the MDB, in the textfile, finally in MYSQL) and also 2) it requires lots of manual intervention.

So I would be happy to know about some more elegant way.

THX, stn
