64-bit Alternative for Microsoft Jet

Question

Microsoft has chosen to not release a 64-bit version of Jet, their database driver for Access. Does anyone know of a good alternative?

Here are the specific features

Answer 1

Luckily, things have changed in the past two years:

Since Office 2010 is available in a 64-bit version, Microsoft had to create a 64-bit version of their Jet Engine. According to the Microsoft Customer Service blog, the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable contains a 64-bit driver, which is able to access recent versions of the Microsoft Access database format.
