add a tool for importing databases (MS Access and the like)
I am missing a tool to help me import data from database sources, e.g. an .mdb (or similar) file. - Background: I have large collections of "cards" in MS Access (kind of a DIY "flashcards" database application). Of course, I could export this into a tab-separated .txt file and import it, but this would need various transformations. A tool in Mnemosyne should allow the user to first open a given database file (.mdb and so forth), then point to certain fields in it to tell Mnemosyne which source field will provide the contents for which target field. That's a standard procedure in database applications. Should be easy to implement.

I was looking for the same utility. Have a look at
https://github.com/mnemosyne-proj/mnemosyne/blob/master/mnemosyne/example_scripts/add_card.py .
There is the programatical answer.
