[mdb-dev] mdb-sql and underscores in table/column names

[Kyle R. B. <mo...@vo...>]

Hello.

We just downloaded and started testing mdbtools - it looks like you've done
alot of work on it since we last looked at it.  The ability to read data
from tables in MDB files is wonderful.  Thank you.

When working with the mdb-sql tool, I ran into the already known underscore
issue with table and column names.  I looked at the code and found where
the issue was and fixed it.  I've attached a patch for src/sql/lexer.l that
adds underscore support to both NAME and IDENT.  It also has a kind of hack
that allows for case insensitive support for the keywords.


Has anyone started on a Perl DBI driver with libmdb as the basis?

Thanks again,
Kyle R. Burton
