Connecting to MS Access and databases on Snapdragon ARM computers

As far as I know, there's still no ADODB or ODBC support on Snapdragon computers. Is there an ETA? In the meantime, can I use MS Access outside its IDE (where it works fine) or can I use SQL Server or MySQL? Can I use Visual Studio with MS Access or any database in any language?

Thank you

    while windows arm can access many external databases, the databases it can natively host beside SQLite is limited. if you install docker with linux container support, you have more options. you can use MySql, PostgreSQL, Mongo (basically all the main databases except SQLServer).
