It produces DDL (data definition language) output for the given database. This can be passed to another database to create a replica of the original access table format.

OPTIONS

-N Prefix identifiers with namespace
-S Sanitize names (replace spaces etc. with underscore)
-T Single table option. Create schema for this table only.
backend Specifies target DDL dialect. Supported values are access, sybase, oracle, and postgres. If not specified the generated DDL will be in access format.

BUGS

Relationships and other features may not be supported by all databases. Access datatypes are mapped to their closest counterparts in the target backend. This may not always yield an exact fit.
