MDB ACCDB Viewer Changelog

What's new in MDB ACCDB Viewer 2.2.7

Jun 25, 2017
  • Fixed a crash when an error occurred during XLS or XLSX export
  • Fixed a memory error that could potentially cause a crash

New in MDB ACCDB Viewer 2.2.6 (Sep 21, 2016)

  • Add support for MacOS 10.12 Sierra. (Unfortunately this required dropping support for 32bit Macs.)
  • Fixed a rare crash due to a memory error.

New in MDB ACCDB Viewer 2.2.5 (Aug 16, 2013)

  • New XLSX export: Completely rewrote the XLSX export code. Exporting to XLSX format should now be faster and use much less RAM. The new export code also fixes an issue where control characters in text fields would result in invalid XLSX files. Last but not least, the new code is smaller, so MDB Viewer downloads quicker.
  • Fixed a crash that occurred when the database contains a special type of hyperlink field.

New in MDB ACCDB Viewer 2.2.4 (Jul 30, 2013)

  • fixed a problem with PostgreSQL export
  • improved error messages when CSV and XLS export fails

New in MDB ACCDB Viewer 2.2.3 (Mar 14, 2013)

  • Fixed Crash on Snow Leopard: MDB ACCDB Viewer 2.2.2 crashed on 64 bit Macs running Mac OS X 10.6. The issue was caused by a bug in Xcode 4.6. I fixed it by using XCode 4.5.2 to build MDB ACCDB Viewer.

New in MDB ACCDB Viewer 2.2.2 (Mar 8, 2013)

  • XLSX Support: Added support for the newer, XML based Excel format.
  • Boolean Fields: Handling of Boolean fields has been improved. The values are now exported as TRUE/FALSE rather than 1/0 (except SQLite, which doesn't support TRUE/FALSE). When exporting to SQL, the BOOLEAN type is used rather than INTEGER.
  • DOUBLE vs. DOUBLE PRECISION: When exporting SQL, MDB Viewer now uses "DOUBLE" rather than "DOUBLE PRECISION" as the data type for floating point fields. The two types are identical, but a 3rd party application does not support "DOUBLE PRECISION".
  • Fixed Crash: Fixed a crash when exporting tables with long names to Excel. The problem was related to the fact that Excel worksheet names are limited to 31 characters. MDB Viewer now truncates table names accordingly when exporting.

New in MDB ACCDB Viewer 2.2.1 (Feb 2, 2013)

  • Fixed Crash: MDB Viewer 2.2 could crash when opening files with invalid index metadata. This problem is now fixed.

New in MDB ACCDB Viewer 2.2 (Jan 9, 2013)

  • added support for MDE and ACCDE file types
  • export to MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite now includes primary keys

New in MDB ACCDB Viewer 2.1 (Dec 4, 2012)

  • Finally: MDB Viewer now supports exporting multiple tables to CSV at once! Furthermore, Version 2.1 also sports a new start-up window, improved documentation display, and some bug fixes related to exporting CSV and SQLite files.
