Welcome to the exciting world of MDB Tools! In short, MDB Tools is a set of
|
|
programs to help you use Microsoft Access file in various settings. The major
|
|
pieces are:
|
|
|
|
. libmdb - the core library that allows access to MDB files programatically.
|
|
. libmdbsql - builds on libmdb to provide a SQL engine (ala Jet)
|
|
. utils - provides command line utilities to list tables, export schema,
|
|
and data, show the version of the files, and other useful stuff.
|
|
. mdb-sql - a command line SQL tool that allows one to type sql queries and
|
|
get results.
|
|
. odbc - An ODBC driver for use with unixODBC or iODBC driver manager.
|
|
Allows one to use MDB files with PHP for example.
|
|
. gmdb2 - The Gnome MDB File Viewer and debugger. Still alpha, but making
|
|
great progress.
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in helping, read the HACKING 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.
|
|
|
|
Files in libmdb, libmdbsql, and libmdbodbc are licensed under LGPL and the
|
|

P.S. I, like many other free software authors enjoy receiving postcards from the
|
|
places users of my software live. So, if you enjoy the software and it has
|
|
helped you out, consider sending me one, eh? Just email me for my postal address.
