NAME 🖥️ mdb-ver 🖥️

ver** - Return the format of a given MDB database.

SYNOPSIS

mdb-ver database
mdb-ver -h|--help
mdb-ver -M|--version

DESCRIPTION

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

It will return a single line of output corresponding to the program that produced the file: ‘JET3’ (for files produced by Access 97), ‘JET4’ (Access 2000, XP and 2003), ‘ACE12’ (Access 2007), ‘ACE14’ (Access 2010), ‘ACE15’ (Access 2013), or ‘ACE16’ (Access 2016).

OPTIONS

-M, –version
Print the version of mdbtools (rather than the MDB file) and exit.

NOTES

Access changed its format between Jet 3 used in Access 97 and Jet 4 used for Access 2000 and XP. The nature of the changes included moving the page size from 2K to 4K and added support for unicode. MDB Tools actively supports both formats. Newer version are very much like Jet4.

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)

mdb-ver first appeared in MDB Tools 0.4.
