NAME

       mdb-tables - Get listing of tables in an MDB database

SYNOPSIS

       mdb-tables [-S] [-1 | -d<delimiter>] <database>

DESCRIPTION

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

       It  produces  a  list  of  tables contained within an MDB database in a
       format suitable for use in shell scripts.

OPTIONS

       -S     Show system tables. System tables are generally those  beginning
              with ’MSys’

       -1     specifies that the tables should be listed 1 per line.

       -d delimiter
              specifies   an   alternative   delimiter.  If  no  delimiter  is
              specified, table names will be delimited by a tab character,  or
              by newline if the -1 option was specified.

BUGS

       Access allows for tables to have spaces embeded in the table name.
              You  must  specify  a delimiter (-d) if you intend on piping the
              output of mdb-tables to a program such as awk or cut.
