Get listing of tables in an MDB database
Synopsis
mdb-tables [-S] [-1 | -d delim] [-t form|table|macro|systable|report|query|linkedtable|module|relationship|dbprop|any|all] [-T] database mdb-tables -h|--help mdb-tables --version
Description
mdb-tables is a utility program distributed with MDB Tools.
It produces a list of tables contained within an MDB database in a format suitable for use in shell scripts.
Options
- -S, --system
Show system tables. System tables are generally those beginning with 'MSys'.
- -1, --single-column
Specifies that the tables should be listed 1 per line. This is equivalent to --delim 0
- -d, --delimiter delim
Specifies an alternative delimiter. If no delimiter is specified, table names will be delimited by a tab character, or by newline if the -1 option was specified.
- -t, --type type
Filters entries to show alternate types. Autorized values are form, table, macro, systable, report, query, linkedtable, module, relationship, dbprop, any, and all. Default value is table.
- -T, --showtype
Display the entry type indentifier before each entry.
- --version
Print the mdbtools version and exit.
Notes
Environment
- MDB_JET3_CHARSET
Defines the charset of the input JET3 (access 97) file. Default is CP1252. See iconv(1).

Colon-separated list of options:
- debug_like

- debug_props
- debug_all is a shortcut for all debug_* options

Bugs
- Access allows for tables to have spaces embedded in the table name.
You must specify a delimiter (-d) if you intend on piping the output of mdb-tables to a program such as awk or cut.
