I, like many free software others, enjoy getting postcards from where users live. If you're a happy MDB Tools user (or even a disgruntled one, doesn't really matter) and want to drop me a postcard with a picture of the place you live, email <a href="mailto:brian@nospam.bruns.com">me</a> for my snail-mail address.

Writing to MDB files is a quite a bit more complicated than simply reading. Some preliminary support is available in the CVS version, this includes under-the-covers things like building rows, adding rows to tables, tracing the index chain to the row, and some work on index writes. These are the nuts and bolts of write support; the big thing left is the allocation of new pages and splitting full pages on inserts. When will this be done? I don't commit to timelines, but the next release (0.6) will have some usable, though not complete, write support.

Jet 4 databases are encoded using UCS2-LE (Unicode 2 byte little endian) encoding. MDB Tools will convert these values using the "iconv" standard to UTF-8 by default. If your terminal or other output uses an encoding other than UTF-8 you can override the default behaviour by setting the MDBICONV to the desired character set.

Jet 3 databases use the character set of the machine on which they were created. For US-English systems this will be cp1252 which is assumed by MDB Tools as the default. To use a file generated with another version of Access, set the MDB_JET3_CHARSET environment variable.
