Jython: use Jackcess to csv export all the tables from whatever Jackcess supports, including Access 97, 2000, 2003, 2007, 2010

dbexport.py

# required apt-get install jython libcommons-logging-java libcommons-lang-java
import sys
sys.path.append('jackcess-2.0.4.jar') # assume the jackcess is in the same directory
sys.path.append('/usr/share/java/commons-logging-1.1.3.jar') # in case logging didn't get picked up
sys.path.append('/usr/share/java/commons-lang-2.6.jar') # in case lang didn't get picked up

exportdir = File(exportdirname)
# make a database object
db = DatabaseBuilder.open(dbfile)
# make an export filter object
export_filter = SimpleExportFilter()
# use 'em to throw down all the data!
ExportUtil.exportAll(db,exportdir,'csv',True)

print "seems to work"

Thanks so much for this! Check out my fork for support for password-protected databases: https://gist.github.com/brandones/58d4b69776fce9dfefffab46783ac203
