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 \n.
  -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).
  MDBICONV            Defines the output charset. Default is UTF-8. mdbtools must have been compiled with iconv.
  MDBOPTS             Colon-separated list of options:

                      * debug_ole
                      * debug_row
                      * debug_props
                      * debug_all is a shortcut for all debug_* options
                      * no_memo (deprecated; has no effect)

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.
