You are pretty much correct, although I think I would use something that
scaled better than Access and is free like PostgreSQL.  You can use ODBC to
connect to it through whatever tools you like.  The cheap way to do it is
to do 'query save' on the tables, transfer them to your PC and then use the
'copy' function (I think it's called) and dump the data in.
