Hi all,

As said in the title, Access uses <> for inequality, and throws a syntax error for !=. This should be added to the translation.

library(odbc)
library(DBI)
library(dplyr, warn.conflicts = FALSE)
library(dbplyr, warn.conflicts = FALSE)

file_path <- "J:\\ExampleDb.accdb"
con <- dbConnect(odbc(), driver = "Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)", dbq = file_path)

t1 <- tbl(con, "Table1") %>%
  filter(ID != 1) %>%
  collect()
#> Error in `collect()`:
#> ! Failed to collect lazy table.
#> Caused by error:
#> ! nanodbc/nanodbc.cpp:1509: 42000: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '(`ID` != 1.0)'. 
#> Backtrace:
