mdb-header - Man Page
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.
