Changes in version 0.3.1 Changes in version 0.3.0 (2026-05-23) - The mdbtools C library is now compiled and bundled with the package. No external mdbtools installation is required on any platform (#3). - A full read-only DBI backend is now available via mdb() (#6): con <- DBI::dbConnect(mdb(), dbname = "path/to/file.mdb") DBI::dbListTables(con) DBI::dbGetQuery(con, "SELECT * FROM [Orders] LIMIT 10;") DBI::dbDisconnect(con) - New helper functions: mdb_sql(), mdb_queries(), mdb_count(), mdb_json(), mdb_export(), mdb_ver(), mdb_array(), mdb_header(), mdb_hexdump(), and mdb_prop(). - mdb_schema() gains a mode argument for DDL output in multiple SQL dialects in addition to the existing readr col-spec mode. - read_mdb() now reads tables via the bundled C library and returns a tibble. The col_types and ... arguments are deprecated with a lifecycle warning. - readr is no longer a hard dependency. If you use read_mdb() and rely on readr being available, add it explicitly to your own dependencies. - Thanks to Bruno Tremblay for contributing the bundled mdbtools source, the DBI backend, and the expanded helper functions (#9). Changes in version 0.2.1 (2024-03-12) - Update maintainer email, website URL, and GitHub URL. Changes in version 0.2.0 - Functions now quote their input files with shQuote(). (#7) - export_mdb() now mirrors readr::format_csv() with arguments, etc. - Remove all formatting arguments for read_mdb() (with smart hidden defaults). - Add more schema types with readr equivalents. - Write schema to a matrix in-memory rather than a temporary file. - Always read data from a temporary file instead of stdout option. - Add better checking if mdbtools is installed. Changes in version 0.1.1 - read_mdb() now has stdout() which can take TRUE or a file path. - Examples and tests don't run on CRAN. Changes in version 0.1.0 - Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package. - Cover the most basic functions from mdbtools: - List tables in database - Export table as delimited file - Read delimited file as dataframe - Convert simple schema to readr spec
