Firstly and before someone could ask the reason that I'd have the idea to migrate data from Oracle to MS access let me tell you that I'm not crazy.

In my country (Bolivia) there is a law (or regulation) that specifies that we have to send some information to the government in an access file and that the mentioned file must be generated directly from the application that we use without human intervention.
Well, years ago we have developed an application in forms 6i and used OCA to connect via ODBC to an empty access file that we copied from a template, there we created tables and data.
The problem is that now we are migrating our application to Forms 10g with an IAS implemented on a Unix AIX server and have no idea about how to do the same we did before to generate the access file in the client machine.
What we need is basically a form that would receive a query as a parameter and after executing it on the oracle data base would be able to insert the result on an access file placed in the client machine. Even better if we are able to manipulate access data base attributes like table structure and comments in columns.
If you have any idea please answer

Thanks on advance

if you want to export your database in access format then use TOAD

Have you solved your problem?

I can think of two solutions:
1) You stated "the mentioned file must be generated directly from the application that we use without human intervention". I would define a 'batch' script as the application and that it invokes oracle to extract the data to a flat file which is then fed in as a parameter to another command which stuffs it into an Access database.

2) Attach the Access database to the Oracle database and stuff the data into it that way.

Thanks David, no I really have not solved my problem,

I'll try both solutions that you suggest.

About second alternative: How would I Attach the MDB to my oracle Data Base?
I really don't understand this solution. By the way my IAS and my DB server are Unix AIX.

Go to the Oracle Database Documentation Library at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db111/homepage

Search for 'ms-access' and you will find links like
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db111/search?word=ms-access&partno=

and you will/may also find http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/owb.111/b31278/concept_import.htm#BEIJJJJF

But as you are using AIX it would still be easier to create a flat file and feed it into Access later.
