[mdb-dev] test mdbtools cvs version 20040821

[Filippo B. <fil...@io...>]

Report of some tests.

Compilation and installation (slackware 10) end with no problem. 

I've preparted 2 files with the same tables: 
db0.mdb made with Access 2000 and 
db0acc97.mdb made with Access 97. 

Although with mdbtools ver 0.5 the various mdb-programs worked well,
with ver 0.6 there are some problems with jet4 files:

$ mdb-tables  db0acc97.mdb  test00
test00 test1 test0 test

$ mdb-tables  db0.mdb  test00
test test0

2 tables are not found. 

Also other programs fail.


Test with ODBC are not been carried out because a connection cannot be established: 

isql -v testmdb
Can't alloc filename
Can't alloc filename
Unable to locate database /tmp/out.db
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect


Test with sdb (OOo database driver) has failed.
Mdbtools code I've tried seems to have been fixed according to the patch proposed here:
http://dba.openoffice.org/drivers/mdb/diff-mdbtools.diff

but probably something must be set also in the binary driver.

Best regards.
