I come from gnome-db list, I'm new here.

The mdb-export needs two params <file> <table>, if you can't provide it core
dumps. 

The mdb file needs  a "compact" from Access menu. 

There are some Access type that aren't implemented yet.

In libmdb/data.c, function *mdb_col_to_string() return NULL when a type
isn't implemented.
So, strcpy(to, mdb_col_to_string(...)) doesn't like a NULL value.

I test it with a 16MB MSAccess database, 34K rows, only "text" e "int"
columns and it works very well.

I don't know the status of this project.

cheers

[mdb-dev] Support for gnome-db

[Alvaro <ac...@fu...>]

Hi guys,

In gnome-db we are interested in support Ms Access in our architecture.
And we think that your great work can help us in the target so I am
going
to start to test you tools and I will inform you from the results.

Yesterday I test it with a 20 Mb MS Access database and it core dumps
when 
I try to export the data to CVS. ¿Is it normal?

I try it with the code from the CVS and with the 0.1 version.

Cheers

I think there might be a perl module that does that.  I seem to

[mdb-dev] Big files

[<ham...@t-...>]

I tried using the mdbtools with a big ( > 400 MB ) file and lots of catalog entries.
This led to the following:
a) catalog pages: the meaning of 0x4000 and 0x8000 in row offsets -
  if 0x4000 is set, then the data is at a different page. The link data consists of a 1-byte
  row index and a three byte page number
  a catalog entry that has been referenced by a 0x4000 will show the 0x8000 bit.
Unfortunately I cannot use this to shorten the scan for catalog pages because - at least
in my example mdb - there are two initial catalog pages; the others could be reached via
links
b) firstpage - in a catalog record, the 3 bytes (rather than 2) after the initial 0x11 are the
initial page number. The fourth byte seems to be some flag

There are quite a few pages with the letters 'LVAL' at the beginning of the page.
Does anyone know what they mean?

Sorry for the late reply, been in the process of moving.  I don't have
access to Access 2.0, but if someone were to send me a couple sample

Hello everyone. For the first little while I'll be a lurker, I will be spending my time getting the source code to compile under BeOS (a great alternative OS). I'm going after the exact same task for www.BeUnited.org (an internet developer's group working towards open-source solutions) and since you have a fountain of information from hacking the databases I'm gonna tag along and contribute whenever I can. Keep up the good work.

[mdb-dev] Access 2.0 formats

Hi All,

I managed to port mdbtools in win32. The idea was to salvage a corrupted 
Access 2.0 mdb. Unfortunately the code works fine for Access 7 mdbs, but not 
for Access 2 mdbs.

Any ideas about extracting data from Access 2.0 mdb?

Thanks.

[mdb-dev] haccess

[oliver <ol...@ca...>]

I was working on a program called haccess about a year ago,
i managed to retrieve almost all the data (binary's were causing a bit
of a problem as i seem to remeber).
blobs, and all the table defs, my c++ structs and classes are available
to any one who wants them (not that the classes are upto much and are
over-hacked).
it's currently in cbuilder(which runs fine with wine) because the
variant type save me so hacking time.

[mdb-dev] BUG:

[Stephan E. <st...@ca...>]

Hello All,

I've got a simple mdb database that is thoroughly confusing mdb-export.
Here is an example of a good record. Note the combination 05 07 at the
very end of the record. All records that mdb-export can succesfully export
from this database have this byte combination.

row_start = 1872, row_end = 2047

Now for the bad record. Note the byte combination at the very end. This
time there is a 04 stuck in between the 05 07 combination. I can't account
for the 04. It does not appear to have any meaning in this record. I've
checked with other databases, and the same thing occurs, except the 04 is
replaced with other data.

There is one more bug in mdb-export. Note the combination (from
end-to-beginning) ff 07 04 05 30 e2 e8 0a ... The 0a here really means
10a, and all subsequent data should have an offset of 0x100. These bytes
represent the byte offset from the beginning of the data to the next
field. Naturally, this number must be increasing, and the dip (from e8 to
0a) represents a roll-over, where 0x100 must be carried.

Can anyone shed any light on why the 04 is in this data? How do I patch
mdb-export to ignore or properly interpret this data?

I can make this problem database available for testing. Just drop me a
line and I'll send you a copy of the mdb database.

Your e-mail came through, but I haven't seen that problem
before, so I didn't feel I could comment on it.

I can't remember exactly what you said in the post, but have you
tried running mdb-schema on it?  Does that work?  Is it only the
mdb-export/prdata utils that print nothing?

Maybe there's a bug in the catalog code so that it misses the
table you are interested in.  Does your table have a space in
the name?  Or any characters other than letters and digits?

[mdb-dev] SegFaults

[<fr...@va...>]

Hello,

I'm getting SegFaults using mdb-schema, mdb-export, and others on
an mdb file.  The SegFaults occur when it comes to a large table which
has "text" fields in it -- that is, fields which may or may not contain
large quantities of text.  It does fine on other tables which do not contain
this type of field, of which there are several before it gets to the big
table.  I can't remember what Access calls this type of field.  We used to
keep this database in Paradox, and they called them "memo fields."

I have tried to make the changes suggested by Michael Wood, but that didn't
seem to help in this case.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

The problem is glib, NOT glibc.

glib is a sort of utility library to help with things like
linked lists and stuff.  It is needed by GTK+ and therefore
GNOME, so most Linux boxes will have it installed.

If you want to compile anything that needs it, you will need the
development packages as well.  For a RedHat based system, the
package is called glib-devel-*.rpm.  The mdbtools use some
functions of the glib library.  If you don't have it installed,
you won't have the glib-config program and you will get the
above error message.

If you DO have glib-devel installed, but glib-config is not in
your PATH, you will also get the above error.

Hope this helps.

[mdb-dev] Problems running CVS and 0.1?

[Dave Belfer-S. <sh...@ho...>]

hey folks, I'm in a bind trying to snarf some data from a .mdb file.  I
need to import it into a MySQL database, and came across mdbtools, which
sounded like the perfect answer.  A CSV file is easy to work with. :)

However, when running mdbtools, I get:

[shevett@lightship]:~/mdbtools$ mdb-tables ./db.mdb 

[shevett@lightship]:~/mdbtools$ 

Nothing output.  Now I know that this particular db has a 'Cards' table in
it (I can see it when i open it in access), but when i try to export it:

[shevett@lightship]:~/mdbtools$ mdb-export ./db.mdb Cards
[shevett@lightship]:~/mdbtools$ 

Any ideas?  Here's the environment:

FreeBSD 4.0
glib 1.2.7
gcc version 2.95.2

Help?  :)

You don't say what platform you're using, but I'm betting it isn't Linux.  I
had problems compiling on Solaris, so I went to get a Linux box.
Alternatively, you can probably get glibc for your platform.

[mdb-dev] Problem compiling

[Stephan E. <st...@ca...>]

Hello,

I'm having a problem compiling the mdbtools out of the box. I'm getting the
following error:

In file included from catalog.c:20:
../include/mdbtools.h:30: glib.h: No such file or directory

It looks like glib.h is nowhere to be found. Is there a package that I am
missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Stephan Edelman.

Well, I haven't come across that particular problem, but I think
there is something wrong with the data export anyway.  I have a
test database that I was trying out the tools on and prdata and
mdb-export both segfault on it.

I haven't really looked into the problem properly, and I don't
have the mdb file here, but as far as I remember it has one
table, and I think 3 columns.  First an integer (maybe
autoincrement.), second and third text fields.

I added a couple of rows and deleted some.  There are now two or
three rows, numbered something like 1, 2, and 4  (Maybe 1, 3,
4).  Anyway, when I run mdb-export or prdata, it prints the
first row twice and then segfaults.

Has anyone else seen something like this?

Maybe I'll try re-creating the database here and see if I get
the same problem.

[mdb-dev] mdb-export

[Carl S. <cgs...@wo...>]

When I was using mdb-export yesterday, I think I may have found a
problem. Where I found the problem was if the first column was a text
field.  As long as the first field was a number, it seemed to work.
But, the database that I was exporting, had a text field as the first
column.  Here's an example:

header row:  field1,field2,field3,field4  <== the header row showed all
the columns
the data row: ,value2,value3,value4     <== the first column's value is
missing

Does anyone else have this problem?  Or is it just my database?
