DESCRIPTION

13       mdb-header is a utility program distributed with MDB Tools.
14
15       It  will  dump  the names and types of the tables and columns in an MDB
16       database in a C header format.
17
18       It will create three files - types.h and dumptypes.[ch]

ENVIRONMENT

21       MDB_JET3_CHARSET
22              Defines the charset of the input JET3 (access 97) file.  Default
23              is CP1252. See iconv(1).
24
25       MDBICONV
26              Defines the output charset. Default is UTF-8. mdbtools must have
27              been compiled with iconv.
28

EXIT STATUS

51       mdb-header exits with error code 1 if there was anunsupported type.
52

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

54       mdb-header is deprecated. Soon, it will no longer be distributed.
55
56       It is the feeling of developers that it is not used, as C code  genera‐
57       tion is now usually replaced by more generic approaches, including lib‐
58       mdb calls and odbc.
