[OSM-talk] OSM -> MS Access

[Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio]

You're right, you can connect directly to a text (csv) database too.

Why use Excel? Access has perfectly good CSV import built in.

I don't know what osm2csv does. It may be better to adapt osm2pgsql or
osmosis to talk to access instead of postgres or mysql.

I would expect that if you wanted to import the whole planet into
Access, it would struggle, which is why linking to tables stored in
MySQL or Postgres, as others have suggested, would probably be a better
idea.

What are you hoping to achieve?
