mdbr: Work with Microsoft Access Files
Work with Microsoft Access '.mdb' and '.accdb' files using the
open source 'MDB Tools' library <https://github.com/mdbtools/mdbtools/>.
The library is compiled and bundled with the package, so no external
installation is required. Provides high-level helpers for reading tables,
exporting to CSV or JSON, inspecting table definitions, and running SQL queries.
Also exposes a full read-only 'DBI' interface for use with standard
database workflows.
