今天有群友在群里问 C# 能不能在 Linux 下访问 Access数据库？

我觉得这很有趣，因此研究折腾了一下，也因为很久没有写博文了，所以特意上来写博文分享经验。

运行环境

Linux平台 下的 ODBC 配置

• /etc/odbc.ini

[access_db] # 随意命名，会在项目代码里用到它
Description=Microsoft Access Database
Driver=MDBW
ServerName = localhost
Database=/root/Database1.mdb # 按你的实际路径改写，要有读写权限

• /etc/odbcinst.ini

[MDBW] # 随意，在odbc.ini文件用到它
Description=MDBTools Driver Wide # 随意
Driver=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc/libmdbodbcW.so # 按你的实际路径改写
Setup=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc/libmdbodbcW.so # 按你的实际路径改写
FileUsage=1

[MDBTools]

编译和发布 Demo 项目代码

准备工作

• 创建 OdbcForLinuxTestApp 目录
• 将上述两个代码文件放入 OdbcForLinuxTestApp 目录
• 安装 .NET SDK 8.0.100

编译和发布

在 OdbcForLinuxTestApp 目录下，执行命令：

dotnet publish -c Release -f net8.0 -r win-x64 -o ./publish/win-x64 # 如果只考虑 Linux平台，该命令可忽略
dotnet publish -c Release -f net8.0 -r linux-x64 -o ./publish/linux-x64

运行 OdbcForLinuxTestApp

注意：Database1.mdb 数据库文件需要提前放到正确的路径，以 odbc.ini文件 的 Database 配置项为准。

cd ./publish/linux-x64
chmod +x OdbcForLinuxTestApp # 授予可执行权限
./OdbcForLinuxTestApp

输出：

UserName: Allen
UserName: Joy

折腾过程中遇到的问题

1. 搜了几个配置例子，有的说 libmdbodbc.so 在 /usr/lib 目录下，
   也有的在 /usr/local/lib/odbc 目录下，而我最终是在 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc 目录下找到。

2. mdbtools 不支持使用列名访问，只能用列索引。
