SYNOPSIS
mdb-export [-H] [-d <delimiter>] [-R <row delim>] [[-Q] || [-q <quote> [-X <escape>]]] [-I] [-D <format>] <database> <table>
DESCRIPTION
mdb-export is a utility program distributed with MDB Tools.
It produces a CSV (comma separated value) output for the given table. Such output is suitable for importation into databases or spreadsheets.

-Q Don't wrap text-like fields (text, memo, date) in quotes. If not specified text fiels will be surrounded by " (double quote) characters.
-d Specify an alternative column delimiter If no delimiter is specified, table names will be delimited by a , (comma) character.
-R Specify a row delimiter
-I INSERT statements (instead of CSV). You must specify the SQL dialect.
-D Set the date format (see strftime(3) for details)
-q Use to wrap text-like fields. Default is ".
-X Use to escape quoted characters within a field. Default is doubling.

BUGS
Memo fields are allowed to contain a newline characters, the current program does nothing about this.
