web page on apache server query a MS Access database

I have an access database and I would like to build a website on the slackware 12.2 server running apache 2.11.14 to let users query data from the MS Access database. I am thinking that I could just do it in jscript and make a jdbc connection and that should be good. What do you guys think. Any thought are welcome.

Thanks
Mike

My only real thought on ms access is as I remember it the performance is abysmal. You'd be better off with mssql or mysql or sybase or sqlite as a backend database. The only real advantage of access is that it lets you develop programs internally on it. Otherwise, however, a jdbc connection should work and there should be libraries for any language you care to use for it also.
