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, --system: Show system tables. System tables are generally those beginning with 'MSys'.
-1, --single-column: Specifies that the tables should be listed 1 per line. This is equivalent to --delim 0
-d, --delimiter delim: 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.
-t, --type type: Filters entries to show alternate types. Autorized values are form, table, macro, systable, report, query, linkedtable, module, relationship, dbprop, any, and all. Default value is table.
-T, --showtype: Display the entry type indentifier before each entry.
--version: Print the mdbtools version and exit.

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: Colon-separated list of options:

debug_like
debug_write
debug_usage
debug_ole
debug_row
debug_props
debug_all is a shortcut for all debug_* options
no_memo (deprecated; has no effect)
use_index (experimental; requires libmswstr)

BUGS

Access allows for tables to have spaces embedded 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.
