This is mdbtools version 0.002
This is mdbtools version 0.01
This software is very, very pre-pre-pre-alpha (did I make my point?), so
unless you know C and probably a little something about databases and reverse
engineering file formats, you're welcome to try it out but don't expect much if anything to work.
This software is very pre-alpha, so don't expect to much unless you know C and

formats, you're welcome to try it out but don't expect much if anything to work.
For the rest of you, read the HACKERS file for a description of where the code
stands and what has been gleened of the file format.
The initial goal of these tools is to be able to extract data structures and
data from mdb files. This goal may of course expand over time as the file
format becomes more well understood (if it ever does).
data from mdb files. This goal will of course expand over time as the file
format becomes more well understood. Also in the plans is a Gtk+ browser for
MDB files and a ODBC/SQL frontend.
To install type 'make' in the src directory and hope it works :-)
This will build three executables:
This will build some useful utilities:
mdb-dump -- a simple hex dump utility that I've been using to look at mdb files
prcat -- print the catalog table from an mdb file,
prkkd -- prints some info about design view data given the offset to it.
prtable -- prints some info about a table definition.
prdata -- prints a dump of the data given a table name.
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
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.
