- mdbtools supports Access 97 databases, which Jackcess does not.
- The Java port of mdbtools also includes an implementation of
- a small subset of the JDBC APIs. Jackcess does not currently,
- but a pure Java JDBC driver for Access could certainly be written
- on top of Jackcess.

- <question>Why am I getting an UnsupportedOperationException (or
- IOException) when updating an indexed table?</question>
- <answer>
- Previously index update support only handled tables with small numbers
- of rows. When the index size limit was reached an
- UnsupportedOperationException (or possibly an IOException) was thrown.
- As of the 1.1.14 release, experimental, optional large index support
- has been added. As of the 1.2.0 release, large index support is
- enabled by default. This support is enabled/disabled via a few
- different means. Please see the <a href="apidocs/com/healthmarketscience/jackcess/Database.html">Database
- javadocs</a> for details on enabling/disabling large index support.
