Basic Installation
==================
$ ./configure
$ make
This will build some useful utilities:
mdb-ver -- prints the version (JET 3 or 4) of an mdb file
2000-03-19 13:57:08 +00:00
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
mdb-tables -- a simple dump of table names to be used with shell scripts
mdb-header -- generates a C header to be used in exporting mdb data to a C prog.
mdb-parsecvs -- generates a C program given a CSV file made with mdb-export
mdb-sql -- if --enable-sql is specified, a simple SQL engine (also used by
ODBC).

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.
Once MDB Tools has been compiled, libmdb.a will be in the src/libmdb directory
and the utility programs will be in the src/util directory.
