title: Java and MS Access
body: <p>The JDBC-ODBC driver doesnot support the same charsets that MS Access using for other then latin characters, thus I cannot read hebrew from the database, which is mostly written in hebrew(a bug report is written <a href="http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6345277" rel="nofollow">here</a>
  ) I tried using <a href="http://jackcess.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">Jackcess</a> for reading from the database but then I've understood that It cannot execute SQL queries is there any alternative for using MS Access and Java?</p>
