you can try ODBC. In linux, there are two variant what i know, iODBC and unixODBC.
What i look, it has driver for M$ Access too. But yes, there is many better solutions then
M$ Access. It's question, what you need, if client-server or only single-client application.

I reason about sqllite long long time ago. But mostly, i need client-server application (MySQL,
especially 5.x). So ODBC driver is good choice. There is some C++ implementation too, and
some benchmark not look so badly.

Unix-like system is the best operation system from the top of the world.
I'm lucky BSD and linux user. :) Use unix-like, be free. :)
