-**Introduced in release:** 1.21
-
-This plugin enables Drill to read Microsoft Access database files. This plugin can read Access Files from all versions later than Access 1997.
-
-## Configuration
-Simply add the following to any Drill file system configuration. Typically, MS Access files will use the extension `accdb` or `mdb`. Drill comes pre-configured to recognize these extensions as MS Access.
-
-```json
-"msaccess": {
- "type": "msaccess",
- "extensions": ["mdb", "accdb"]
-}
-```
-
-## Schemas
-Drill will discover the schema automatically from the Access file. The plugin does support schema provisioning for consistency, but is not recommended.
-
-## Querying a Table
-Access files will contain multiple tables. To access a specific table, use the `table()` function in the `FROM` clause, and specify the table name using the `tableName` parameter, as shown below.
-
-```sql
-SELECT *
-FROM table(dfs.`file_name.accdb` (type=> 'msaccess', tableName => 'Table1'))
-```
-
-## Metadata Queries
-Since an Access file may contain multiple tables, there needs to be a way to determine what tables are present in the Access file. In Drill, simply querying a file, without specifying a `tableName` will result in a metadata query, rather than getting the actual data back.
-
-For example:
-
-```sql
-SELECT * FROM dfs.test.`access/data/V2019/extDateTestV2019.accdb`;
-+--------+-------------------------+-------------------------+-----------+-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| table | created_date | updated_date | row_count | col_count | columns |
-+--------+-------------------------+-------------------------+-----------+-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| Table1 | 2021-06-03 20:09:56.993 | 2021-06-03 20:09:56.993 | 9 | 6 | ["ID","Field1","DateExt","DateNormal","DateExtStr","DateNormalCalc"] |
-+--------+-------------------------+-------------------------+-----------+-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-```
-## Password-Protected Files
-The password protection in Access is just a software level protection and really does not offer any security. Drill can query password protected files without any password.
