Perhaps OFF-TOPIC: how to query dbase files

[Mathieu Parent]

On windows I use the "MicrosoftDBase  ODBC Driver" to make sql  SELECT
queries.
I want to do the same things with Linux
Is there a free linux ODBC driver for dBase files (.dbf) ?
I  use PHP/Mapscript (I have some dbf without shp). I have compiled PHP
5 with iODBC.
I don't want to use the php dbase extension because it doesn't support
queries.

Thanks
