mdb-tables
MDBTools(1)MDBTools(1)NAME
mdb-tables - Get listing of tables in an MDB database
SYNOPSIS
mdb-tables [-S] [-1 | -d delimiter] database
DESCRIPTION
mdb-tables is a utility program distributed with MDB Tools.
It produces a list of tables contained within an MDB database in a format suitable for use in shell scripts.
OPTIONS -S Show system tables. System tables are generally those beginning with 'MSys'
-1 specifies that the tables should be listed 1 per line.
-d delimiter
specifies an alternative delimiter. If no delimiter is specified, table names will be delimited by a tab character, or by newline if
the -1 option was specified.
NOTES ENVIRONMENT
MDB_JET3_CHARSET
Defines the charset of the input JET3 (access 97) file. Default is CP1252. See iconv(1).
MDBICONV
Defines the output charset. Default is UTF-8. mdbtools must have been compiled with iconv.
MDBOPTS
semi-column separated list of options:
o use_index
o no_memo
o debug_like
o debug_write
o debug_usage
o debug_ole
o debug_row
o debug_props
o debug_all is a shortcut for all debug_* options
HISTORY
mdb-tables first appeared in MDB Tools 0.3.
SEE ALSO gmdb2(1)mdb-export(1)mdb-hexdump(1)mdb-prop(1)mdb-sql(1)mdb-ver(1)mdb-array(1)mdb-header(1)mdb-parsecsv(1)mdb-schema(1)AUTHORS
The mdb-tables utility was written by Brian Bruns.
BUGS
Access allows for tables to have spaces embeded in the table name.
You must specify a delimiter (-d) if you intend on piping the output of mdb-tables to a program such as awk or cut.
