Re: Opening .mdb without .mdw?

Hi!
I think it`s posible.
Try the command line interface:
mdb-schema --drop-table {name_of_file}.mdb mysql > shema.sql
mdb-export -I mysql -D '%Y-%m-%d' -q \' -X \\ {name_of_file}.mdb "{name_of_tables-find_in_file-shema.sql}">> database.sql
See the results in files as mysql database. Or try commands for cvs format.

Good luck, Dmitry
