NAME

       mdb-parsecsv - Convert CSV table dump into C file.

SYNOPSIS

       mdb-parsecsv file

DESCRIPTION

       mdb-parsecsv is a utility program distributed with MDB Tools.

       mdb-parsecsv  takes  a  CSV  file  representing a database table, and converts it into a C
       array.

NOTES

       If the first argument does not exist as a  file,  mdb-parsecsv  will  look  for  the  same
       filename with '.txt' appended.

       The  file  extension  is  stripped,  and  the  output written to the base name plus a '.c'
       extension.

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 to use for the SQL file. 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)

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       mdb-parsecsv 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.
