This is mdbtools version 0.01
|
|
|
|
This software is very pre-alpha, so don't expect to much 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 will of course expand over time as the file
|
|
format becomes more well understood. Also in the plans is a Gtk+ browser for
|
|
MDB files and a ODBC/SQL frontend.
|
|
|
|
To install type 'make' in the src directory and hope it works :-)
|
|
|
|
This will build some useful utilities:
|
|
|
|
mdb-dump -- simple hex dump utility that I've been using to look at mdb files
|
|
mdb-schema -- prints DDL for the specified table
|
|
mdb-export -- export table to CSV format
|
|
|
|
And some utilities useful for debugging:
|
|
|
|
prcat -- prints the catalog table from an mdb file,
|
|
prkkd -- dump of information about design view data given the offset to it.
|
|
prtable -- dump of a table definition.
|
|
prdata -- dump of the data given a table name.
