Access database (*.mdb, *.accdb) parser
Project description
AccessDB Parser
Microsoft Access (.mdb / .accdb) database files parser. The parsing logic is fully written in python and works without any external binary dependencies.
Installing
Use pip: pip install access-parser
Or install manually:
git clone https://github.com/ClarotyICS/access_parser.git
cd access_parser
python3 setup.py install
Demo
Usage Example
from access_parser import AccessParser
# .mdb or .accdb file
db = AccessParser("/path/to/mdb/file.mdb")
# Print DB tables
print(db.catalog)
# Tables are stored as defaultdict(list) -- table[column][row_index]
table = db.parse_table("table_name")
# Pretty print all tables
db.print_database()
Known Issues
- OLE fields are currently not supported
- Only a subset of memo fields are parsed
This library was tested on a limited subset of database files. Due to the differences between database versions and the complexity of the parsing we expect to find more parsing edge-cases.
To help us resolve issues faster please provide as much data as you can when opening an issue - DB file if possible and full trace including log messages.
Thanks
- This library was made possible by the great work by mdb-tools. The logic in this library heavily relies on the excellent documentation they have https://github.com/brianb/mdbtools
- Huge thanks to Mashav Sapir for the help debugging, CRing and contributing to this project https://github.com/mashavs
