✨ mdb-count(1) — bestie edition ✨

okay so real quick, before anything else: this page lives in the Executable programs or shell commands part of the manual, and its whole government name is mdb-count. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

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

i know, i know, the description says "listing of tables" and then it counts rows. that's what the page says bestie, i don't make the rules 💀

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

mdb-count file table
mdb-count --version

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

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

It outputs the number of rows in a table. that's it. that's the whole job. she's focused, she's efficient, she ate. 👑

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • --version — Print the mdbtools version and exit. that's the entire option list. one option. iconic minimalism. 💅

🦋 NOTES 🦋

(the original page leaves this one empty, so… nothing to report, bestie. enjoy the silence. 🙈)

🧚 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 — Colon-separated list of options:
    • debug_like
    • debug_write
    • debug_usage
    • debug_ole
    • debug_row
    • debug_props
    • debug_all is a shortcut for all debug_* options
    • no_memo (deprecated; has no effect)
    • use_index (experimental; requires libmswstr)
heads up: no_memo is deprecated and does literally nothing, and use_index is experimental and needs libmswstr. don't come for me, i'm just the messenger. 😭
