This software is very, very pre-pre-pre-alpha (did I make my point?), so
|
2000-02-13 07:51:37 +08:00
|
|
|
unless you know C and probably a little something about databases and reverse
|
|
|
|
|
engineering file formats, you're welcome to try it out but don't expect much if anything to work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the rest of you, read the HACKERS file for a description of where the code
|
|
|
|
|
stands and what has been gleened of the file format.

|
|

|
The initial goal of these tools is to be able to extract data structures and
|
|
|
|
|
data from mdb files. This goal may of course expand over time as the file
|
|
|
|
|
format becomes more well understood (if it ever does).

To install type 'make' in the src directory and hope it works :-)

This will build three executables:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mdb-dump -- a simple hex dump utility that I've been using to look at mdb files
|
2000-03-12 09:21:05 +08:00
|
|
|
prcat -- print the catalog table from an mdb file,
|
|
|
|
|
prkkd -- prints some info about design view data given the offset to it.
|
|
|
|
|
prtable -- prints some info about a table definition.
|
|
|
|
|
prdata -- prints a dump of the data given a table name.
