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, --system
Show system tables. System tables are generally those beginning with ’MSys’.
-1, --single-column
Specifies that the tables should be listed 1 per line. This is equivalent to --delim 0
-d, --delimiter delim
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.
-t, --type type
Filters entries to show alternate types. Autorized values are form, table, macro, systable, report, query, linkedtable, module, relationship, dbprop, any, and all. Default value is table.
-T, --showtype
Display the entry type indentifier before each entry.
--version
Print the mdbtools version and exit.

BUGS
Access allows for tables to have spaces embedded 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.
