There is a Unix ODBC driver I believe.

I think mdbtool is too limited for much in the way of Access
imports, it might be better to look at dumping from an MS box, as I
believe MS Access can dump schema details etc.

I'm not sure about the "self contained" database view - I mean jetDB
was a file database, so not really suitable for anything but use by
one individual. Of course it was easy to link MS Access to any back
end database.
