      <p>
        Jackcess is a pure Java library for reading from and writing to MS
        Access databases (currently supporting versions 2000-2007).  It is part of the <a href="http://openhms.sourceforge.net/">OpenHMS</a> project from <a href="http://www.healthmarketscience.com/">Health Market Science, Inc.</a>.  It is not an application.  There is no GUI.  It's a
        library, intended for other developers to use to build Java
        applications.  Jackcess is licensed under the

    <section name="Sample code">
        <ul>
          <li>Displaying the contents of a table:
            <source>System.out.println(Database.open(new File("my.mdb")).getTable("MyTable").display());
</source>
          </li>
          <li>Iterating through the rows of a table:
            <source>Table table = Database.open(new File("my.mdb")).getTable("MyTable");
for(Map&lt;String, Object&gt; row : table) {
  System.out.println("Column 'a' has value: " + row.get("a"));
}
</source>
          </li>
          <li>Searching for a row with a specific column value:
            <source>Map&lt;String, Object&gt; row = Cursor.findRow(table, Collections.singletonMap("a", "foo"));
if(row != null) {
  System.out.println("Found row where 'a' == 'foo': " + row);
} else {
  System.out.println("Could not find row where 'a' == 'foo'");
}
</source>
          </li>
          <li>Creating a new table and writing data into it:
            <source>Database db = Database.create(new File("new.mdb"));
Table newTable = new TableBuilder("NewTable")
  .addColumn(new ColumnBuilder("a")
             .setSQLType(Types.INTEGER)
             .toColumn())
  .addColumn(new ColumnBuilder("b")
             .setSQLType(Types.VARCHAR)
             .toColumn())
  .toTable(db);
newTable.addRow(1, "foo");
</source>
          </li>

          <li>Copying the contents of a JDBC ResultSet (e.g. from an
external database) into a new table:
            <source>Database.open(new File("my.mdb")).copyTable("Imported", resultSet);</source>
          </li>
          <li>Copying the contents of a CSV file into a new table:
            <source>Database.open(new File("my.mdb")).importFile("Imported2", new File("my.csv"), ",");</source>
          </li>
        </ul>
