mdb-ver(1)	     Executable programs or shell commands	    mdb-ver(1)

NAME
       mdb-ver - Return the format of a given MDB database.

SYNOPSIS
       mdb-ver database
       mdb-ver -M


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

       It will return a single line of output with 'JET3' for those files pro‐
       duced in Access 97 format, 'JET4' for those produced by Access 2000, XP
       and  2003,  'ACE12'  for	 those produced by Access 2007, or 'ACE14' for
       those produced by Access 2010.

OPTIONS
       -M     Prints the version of MDB Tools itself instead of the MDB file.

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
	      semi-column separated list of options:

	      ·	 use_index

	      ·	 no_memo

	      ·	 debug_like

	      ·	 debug_write

	      ·	 debug_usage

	      ·	 debug_ole

	      ·	 debug_row

	      ·	 debug_props

	      ·	 debug_all is a shortcut for all debug_* options

AUTHORS
       The mdb-ver utility was written by Brian Bruns.

BUGS
       mdb-ver does minimal checking on the validity of a file. It is possbile
       for it to misidentify a non-MDB file.

       mdb-ver does not recognize Access 2.0 (Jet 2).
