MDBTools(1)															       MDBTools(1)

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
	      Defines the output charset to use for the SQL file. 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

HISTORY

BUGS

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