NAME
mdb-header - Write header file from an MDB database
SYNOPSIS
mdb-header [database]
DESCRIPTION
mdb-header is a utility program distributed with MDB Tools.
It will dump the names and types of the tables and columns in
an MDB database in a C header format.
It will create three files - types.h and dumptypes.[ch]
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)
EXIT STATUS
mdb-header exits with error code 1 if there was anunsupported type.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
mdb-header is deprecated. Soon, it will no longer be distributed.
It is the feeling of developers that it is not used, as C code generation
is now usually replaced by more generic approaches, including libmdb calls
and odbc.
However, should you find this tool useful, drop us a line at
https://github.com/mdbtools/mdbtools/issues/197
and we'll consider maintaining it.
