NAME
       mdb-export - Export data in an MDB database table to CSV format.

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

       It produces a CSV (comma separated value) output for the given table.
       Such output is suitable for importation into databases or spreadsheets.

OPTIONS
       -H     Supress header row

       -Q     Don't wrap text-like fields (text, memo, date) in quotes.  If
              not specified text fiels will be surrounded by " (double quote)
              characters.

       -d     Specify an alternative column delimiter If no delimiter is
              specified, table names will be delimited by a , (comma)
              character.

       -R     Specify a row delimiter

       -I backend
              INSERT statements (instead of CSV). You must specify which SQL
              backend dialect to use. Allowed values are: access, sybase,
              oracle, postgres, mysql and sqlite.

       -D     Set the date format (see strftime(3) for details)

       -q     Use to wrap text-like fields. Default is ".

       -X     Use to escape quoted characters within a field.  Default is
              doubling.

       -N namespace
              Prefix identifiers with namespace.

       -b strip|raw|octal
              Binary export mode: strip binaries, export as-is, or outpu style
              octal data.

NOTES
ENVIRONMENT
       MDB_JET3_CHARSET
              Defines the charset of the input JET3 (access 97) file. Default

       MDBICONV
              Defines the output charset to use for the SQL file. Default is
