With most shells, echo is a built-in. In bash, you would need the -e option to enable the backslash interpretation. With ksh on Solaris, echo behaves differently depending on where /usr/ucb appears in your PATH.

NAME
mdb-export - Export data in an MDB database table to CSV format.
SYNOPSIS
mdb-export [-H] [-d delimiter] [-R row_delim] [[-Q] | [-q quote [-X escape]]] [-I] [-D format] database table
DESCRIPTION
mdb-export is a utility program distributed with MDB Tools.
It produces a CSV (comma separated value) output for the given table. Such output is suitable for importation into databases or spread-
sheets.
OPTIONS
-H Supress header row
-Q Don't wrap text-like fields (text, memo, date) in quotes. If not specified text fiels will be surrounded by " (double quote) char-
acters.
-d Specify an alternative column delimiter If no delimiter is specified, table names will be delimited by a , (comma) character.
-R Specify a row delimiter
-I INSERT statements (instead of CSV). You must specify the SQL dialect.
-D Set the date format (see strftime(3) for details)
-q Use to wrap text-like fields. Default is ".
-X Use to escape quoted characters within a field. Default is doubling.
-N namespace
Prefix identifiers with namespace.
NOTES
ENVIRONMENT
MDB_JET3_CHARSET
Defines the charset of the input JET3 (access 97) file. Default is CP1252. See iconv(1).
MDBICONV

BUGS
Memo fields are allowed to contain a newline characters, the current program does nothing about this.
