Revision history for App-Access2CSV
0.001.0 Mon Sep 28 02:13:38 PM EDT 2026
First release.
- access2csv: export every user table of an Access (.mdb/.accdb)
database to one CSV file each, using mdbtools
- Encodings: utf8, utf8-bom (for Excel) and cp1252; cp1252 refuses
characters it cannot hold, with the line number
- Safe file names: unsafe and invisible control characters
replaced, Windows device names avoided, collisions numbered
(ignoring case)
- Each table written to a temporary file and renamed into place: a
failure or interruption never leaves a half-written CSV, and an
old file is replaced only by a complete new one
- --table, --dry-run, --show-counts, --overwrite, --output-dir,
--log/--no-log, --no-progress, --verbose, --version
- "-" reads the database from standard input
- Ctrl-C/SIGTERM stop the run cleanly
- Security: no shell, "--" before names, relative PATH entries
ignored, terminal output escaped, log symbolic links refused,
taint mode (-T) supported
- Messages through a translatable catalog (English included)
