title: ODBC or OleDB database drivers under Azure App Service
body: <p>I'm investigating what's involved in deploying an ASP.NET MVC web application to Azure as an App Service, using Web Deploy from Visual Studio 2015.</p>
  
  <p>The MVC web application uses SQL Server for the identity database in the standard fashion, so I can see how to point that at an Azure-hosted database server.</p>
  
  <p>In addition, it has some 'legacy' data in DBF files in the App_Data folder, accessed on my development PC via OLEDB. </p>
  
  <p>This scenario is obviously going to fail on deployment because whatever box(es) the site ends up hosted on won't have this OLEDB driver installed. </p>
  
  <p>Is this a complete non-runner or is there some way of installing the driver?</p>
