exciting world of MDB Tools! MDB Tools is a set of programs to\nhelp you extract data from Microsoft Access files in various settings. See the\n[NEWS](./NEWS) file for information about the latest release.\n\n## Components\n\nThe major pieces of MDB Tools are:\n\n### libmdb\n\nThe core library that allows access to MDB files programatically. See [mdbtools.h](./include/mdbtools.h.in) for the complete API.\n\n### libmdbsql\n\nBuilds on libmdb to provide a SQL engine (aka Jet). See [mdbsql.h](./include/mdbsql.h) for the complete API.\n\n### utils\n\nProvides command line utilities, including:\n\n| Command | Description |\n| ------- | ----------- |\n| `mdb-ver` | Prints the version (JET 3 or 4) of an mdb file. |\n| `mdb-schema` | Prints DDL for the specified table. |\n| `mdb-export` | Export table to CSV or SQL formats. |\n| `mdb-json` | Export table to JSON format. |\n| `mdb-tables` | A simple dump of table names to be used with shell scripts. |\n| `mdb-count` | A simple count of number of rows in a table, to be used in shell scripts and ETL pipelines. |\n| `mdb-sql` | A simple SQL engine (also used by ODBC and gmdb). |\n| `mdb-queries` | List and print queries stored in the database. |\n| `mdb-hexdump`\\* | (in [src/extras](./src/extras)) Simple hex dump utility to look at mdb files. |\n| `mdb-array`\\* | Export data in an MDB database table to a C array. |\n| `mdb-header`\\* | Generates a C header to be used in exporting mdb data to a C prog. |\n| `mdb-parsecsv`\\* | Generates a C program given a CSV file made with mdb-export. |\n\n\\* Deprecated\n\nSee the man page of each program for usage instructions.\n\nThe [src/util](./src/util) directory also contains a number of debugging tools, intended for developers. They are:\n\n| Command | Description |\n| ------- | ----------- |\n| `prcat` | Prints the catalog table from an mdb file. |\n| `prkkd` | Dump of information about design view data given the offset to it. |\n| `prtable` | Dump of a table definition. |\n| `prdata` | Dump of the data given a table name. |\n| `prole` | Dump of ole columns given a table name and sargs. |\n\nThese tools are not installed on the host system.\n\n### odbc\n\nAn ODBC driver for use with unixODBC or iODBC driver manager. Allows one to use MDB files with PHP for example.\n\n### gmdb2\n\nThe Gnome MDB File Viewer and debugger. Recently ported to GTK+3 and moved to [mdbtools/gmdb2](https://github.com/mdbtools/gmdb2).\n\n## License\n\nFiles in libmdb, libmdbsql, and libmdbodbc are licensed under LGPL and the\nutilities and gui program are under the GPL, see [COPYING.LIB](./COPYING.LIB)\nand [COPYING](./COPYING) files respectively.\n\n\n## Requirements\n\nFirst, you must have reasonably current installations of:\n\n* [libtool](https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/)\n* [automake](https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/)\n* [autoconf](https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/) (version \u003e= 2.64)\n\nIf you want to build the SQL engine, you'll need\n[bison](https://www.gnu.org/software/bison/) (version \u003e= 3.0) or\n[byacc](https://invisible-island.net/byacc/byacc.html), and\n[flex](https://github.com/westes/flex).\n\nIf you want to build the ODBC driver, you'll need `unixodbc-dev` (version\n2.2.10 or above) or [iodbc](http://www.iodbc.org/dataspace/doc/iodbc/wiki/iodbcWiki/WelcomeVisitors).\n\nIf you want to build man pages, you'll need\n[GNU awk](https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/).\n\n\n## Installation\n\nLatest version is available at https://github.com/mdbtools/mdbtools\n\n### Debian\n\n```\napt install mdbtools\n```\n\n### Homebrew\n\n```bash\nbrew install mdbtools\n```\n\n### MacPorts\n\n```bash\nport install mdbtools\n```\n\n### From source\n\nIf you have cloned the Git repository, you will first need to generate the\n`configure` file (skip this step if you have downloaded a formal release):\n\n```bash\nautoreconf -i -f\n```\n\nThen:\n\n```bash\n./configure\n```\n\nOR with mingw32 (--disable-shared --enable-static are optional as you knew):\n\n```bash\n./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --disable-shared --enable-static\n```\n\n\nOR for a complete install (requires bison, flex, and unixODBC):\n\n```bash\n./configure --with-unixodbc=/usr/local\n```\n\nBy default, MDB Tools is linked against the copy of\n[GLib](https://developer.gnome.org/glib/) returned by pkg-config. You can\npoint to a different GLib installation using the `GLIB_CFLAGS` and `GLIB_LIBS`\nenivornment variables. Or, you can disable GLib entirely with the\n`--disable-glib` flag, in which case MDB Tools will use an internal\nimplementation of GLib's functions.\n\nconfigure can be passed any of the following flags to turn on other \ncapabilities.  Note that the options `--with-unixodbc` and `--with-iodbc` are\nmutually exclusive.\n\n```\n--with-unixodbc  specifies the location of the unixODBC driver manager and \n                 causes the unixODBC driver to be built.\n--with-iodbc     specifies the location of the iODBC driver manager and \n                 causes the iODBC driver to be built.\n```\n\nBy default, the ODBC driver will be installed as /usr/local/lib/odbc/libmdbodbc.so,\nwith a Unicode-capable driver at /usr/local/lib/odbc/libmdbodbcW.so.\n\nThe command `configure --help` will give you the list of mdbtools specific options.\n\n```bash\nmake\n```\n\nOnce MDB Tools has been compiled, libmdb.[so|a] will be in the src/libmdb \ndirectory and the utility programs will be in the src/util directory.\n\nYou can then install (to /usr/local by default) by running the following as root:\n\n```bash\nmake install\n```\n\nSome systems will also need the ld cache to be updated after installation;\nYou can do that running:\n\n```bash \nldconfig\n```\n\n## Hacking\n\nIf you are interested in helping, read the [HACKING](./HACKING) file for a description of \nwhere the code stands and what has been gleened of the file format.\n\n## Contact\n\nPlease send bug reports to the new github repository.\nhttps://github.com/mdbtools/mdbtools/issues\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmdbtools%2Fmdbtools","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmdbtools%2Fmdbtools","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmdbtools%2Fmdbtools/lists"}
