Configuration

Accepted Config Options

Name	Required	Default	Description
database_file	Yes		Local or URL path to a Microsoft Access database .mdb or .accdb file
* connection_params			Any parameters for the fsspec storage backend implementation dictated by the database_file URL protocol, such as HTTP(S), S3 or Azure (see built-in implementations and other known implementations for more information) These can be passed directly as top-level config (i.e. same as database_file) or via the connection_params setting as a JSON-object value - if both are provided, the configurations are merged, with values from connection_params taking precedence

A full list of supported settings and capabilities for this tap is available by running:

Configure using environment variables

This Singer tap will automatically import any environment variables within the working directory's .env if the --config=ENV is provided, such that config values will be considered if a matching environment variable is set either in the terminal context or in the .env file.

Usage

You can easily run tap-msaccess by itself or in a pipeline using Meltano.

Executing the Tap Directly

tap-msaccess --version
tap-msaccess --help
tap-msaccess --config CONFIG --discover > ./catalog.json

Developer Resources

Follow these instructions to contribute to this project.

Initialize your Development Environment

pipx install poetry
poetry install

Create and Run Tests

Create tests within the tests subfolder and then run:

poetry run pytest

You can also test the tap-msaccess CLI interface directly using poetry run:

poetry run tap-msaccess --help

Testing with Meltano

Note: This tap will work in any Singer environment and does not require Meltano. Examples here are for convenience and to streamline end-to-end orchestration scenarios.

Next, install Meltano (if you haven't already) and any needed plugins:

# Install meltano
pipx install meltano
# Initialize meltano within this directory
cd tap-msaccess
meltano install

Now you can test and orchestrate using Meltano:

# Test invocation:
meltano invoke tap-msaccess --version
# OR run a test `elt` pipeline:
meltano elt tap-msaccess target-jsonl
