Export to HTML format

Export to HTML format (Db2Html)

Description:
Db2Html allows you to export all the data from one or all tables in a database
in Html table format. Each column is written as a cell inside a html table..
Db2Html writes the output by default to "table.htm" unless you
specify with the '-o' option a different output file.
Db2Html also creates a header row with all column names
unless you specify the "-n" option to write the HTML without the header line.
Db2Html writes one row for each record.
If you don't specify a table with the "-t" option Db2Html will export all tables.
Numeric columns are exported right justified in HTML format.
Db2Html uses by default the "Arial" font, but with the -f option you can
set a different font for the HTML output.

Db2Html writes all diagnostics to a log file "logs/yyyymmdd/db2html.log"
The exported HTML data can be used in browsers to view your data.
Note that In demo mode up to 100 records can be exported.

Syntax:
-usage: db2html [-sn] [-d{db}] [-o{out}] [-t{tab}]
-d = DATABASE: Specify database input file (default Sample.mdb)
-o = OUTPUT : Specify output filename (default Table.{xml|txt|csv|htm})
                 -o STDOUT writes directly to standard output not a file
-t = TABLE   : Specify Table name (default is all tables)
                 or table number ('#3' = 3rd table)
-f = FONT : Specify a font for Html Exports (default is Arial)
-s = SILENT : Dont show diagnostics (XX Records written..)
-n = NOHEADER: Dont write DTD (XML), header line (TXT, CSV, HTML)

Example:
db2html -d sample.mdb -t Employees -f "Courier New"
9 'Employees' Record(s) written to 'Employees.htm'

Exports all data from the " Employees" table from the default database " Sample.mdb".
The output is written to "Employees.htm".
