NAME
mdb-header - Write header file from an MDB database
SYNOPSIS
mdb-header [database]
DESCRIPTION
mdb-header is a utility program distributed with MDB Tools. It will dump the names and types of the tables and columns in an MDB database in a C header format. It will create three files - types.h and dumptypes.[ch]
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_like • debug_write • debug_usage • debug_ole • debug_row • debug_props • debug_all is a shortcut for all debug_* options • no_memo (deprecated; has no effect) • use_index (experimental; requires libmswstr)
EXIT STATUS
mdb-header exits with error code 1 if there was anunsupported type.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
mdb-header is deprecated. Soon, it will no longer be distributed. It is the feeling of developers that it is not used, as C code generation is now usually replaced by more generic approaches, including libmdb calls and odbc. However, should you find this tool useful, drop us a line at https://github.com/mdbtools/mdbtools/issues/197 and we'll consider maintaining it.
