You must specify which SQL backend dialect to use. Allowed values are: access, sybase, oracle, postgres, mysql and sqlite. -D Set the date format (see strftime(3) for details) -q Use to wrap text-like fields. Default is ". -X Use to escape quoted characters within a field. Default is doubling. -N namespace Prefix identifiers with namespace. -b strip|raw|octal Binary export mode: strip binaries, export as-is, or output style octal data.

Default is UTF-8. mdbtools must have been compiled with iconv.

Memo fields are allowed to contain a newline characters, the current program does nothing about this.
