MDB File

File extension	.MDB
Category	File
Description	MDB is a database file created in Microsoft Access. It contains tables, queries, forms, macros, and can be used as a standalone application or with other databases.
Associated programs	Microsoft Access, LibreOffice Base, MDB Viewer Plus
Developed by	Microsoft
MIME type	application/x-msaccess

XML File

File extension	.XML
Category	Document File
Description	XML is a versatile kind of language, which resembles HTML. Although they seem to have pretty much in common, as both are based on tags and define documentsí content and structure, they cannot replace each other. First, HTML demonstrates data, while XML describes it. Second, HTML uses standard tags, while XML does not use any, and users who write XML documents actually invent them. XMLs appear to be simpler and more flexible than HTMLs, and they present a very consistent way of sharing information. Meanwhile, these files bear static data, which cannot be rendered without a piece of software.

MDB to XML: Export Microsoft Access Data to Interoperable XML

Need your Access tables in a system-friendly, schema-driven format? This online MDB-to-XML converter turns .mdb (Microsoft Access/Jet) databases into clean, standards-ready XML you can feed to legacy apps, ETL pipelines, and document workflows. Upload your MDB, choose XML, and download structured data in seconds—no installs, no signup.

What Is an MDB File?

.mdb is the classic Microsoft Access format (Jet/DAO; Access 97–2003). It stores tables, queries, indexes, and relationships, with types like Number, Text, Date/Time, Currency, Yes/No, and Memo (long text). Many organizations still archive operational data as MDB even after moving to newer formats.

What You Get

Table-to-XML mapping: Each selected table (or query result) becomes an element under a single root. By default: <database> → one or more <table name="Orders"> → repeated <row> elements.
Field serialization: Columns are emitted as child elements inside each <row> (e.g., <OrderID>10248</OrderID>).
Types respected: Numbers as text numerals, booleans as true/false, dates in ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD / YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS), and currency as formatted numerics.
Null handling: Empty elements or xsi:nil="true" (when XML Schema namespace is enabled).
UTF-8 output: Proper escaping of special characters (& < > " ') for safe parsing.
Optional XSD stub: Basic schema hints can accompany the XML to help validators and downstream tools.

Best Practices Before Converting

Export the right view: If you need joined/filtered data, create an Access Query first—converting that result produces a single, denormalized XML that’s easier to consume.
Clean column names: Prefer names that are valid XML element names (start with a letter/underscore; avoid spaces and symbols). Map awkward names in a query (e.g., SELECT [Ship City] AS ShipCity ...).
Normalize dates/currency: Set consistent formats in Access so values appear predictably in XML.
Limit scope: XML is verbose—export only the tables/columns and date ranges your consumer needs.
Memo/Long Text: Keep line breaks; avoid embedded RTF/HTML if the consumer expects plain text.

XML Structure & Options

Root element: Defaults to <database>; can include attributes like name or generatedAt.
Per-table blocks: <table name="Customers"> ... </table> containing repeated <row>.
Element vs attribute: IDs/codes can be emitted as attributes for compactness (e.g., <row id="10248"><CustomerID>ALFKI</CustomerID>...).
Binary/OLE fields: If present, binary data can be Base64-encoded or skipped; for documents, export from Access separately.
Relationships: XML will not recreate Access relationships; if you need nested hierarchies, materialize a query that joins parent/child data before conversion.

Working With the XML

Validation: Pair with an XSD and use your favorite validator or pipeline to catch type/shape regressions.
ETL: Import via XPath/XQuery or transform with XSLT to the target schema your system expects.
Compression: For large datasets, ZIP the XML; many consumers can ingest compressed payloads.

Troubleshooting

“File not recognized”: Ensure the source is a genuine .mdb (not .accdb or a renamed file).
Invalid XML names: Columns starting with digits or containing spaces/symbols—alias them in a query and reconvert.
Garbled characters: Source used a legacy code page; convert text to UTF-8 upstream or in Access before export.
Huge output: Filter rows/columns or split by month/category; XML is verbose by design.
Binary/OLE data: Embedded objects aren’t ideal in XML—export files separately, store paths/IDs in the XML.

Notes & Limitations

Static snapshot: XML contains values only—no forms, reports, macros, or Access relationship logic.
Types in text: Without strict XSD, consumers infer types from text; document expectations for dates/numbers.
ACCDB: This tool targets MDB. For .accdb, use the matching converter or save to MDB/CSV first.

Privacy & Workflow

Conversion runs in your browser session and produces a downloadable XML file in moments. For recurring jobs—batch processing, watched folders, command-line automation, custom naming, watermarks, or parallel XML+XSD generation—explore CoolUtils desktop tools. From legacy Access databases to interoperable XML, this converter makes data handoff simple and reliable.
