Keep decimal precision when PowerShell Access.Application Transfertext exports Number column to CSV file

Question

I'm exporting data from Access tables to CSV files using powershell on a Windows 2012 R2 Server. I'd like to do this without modifying the Access database schema and without writing any VBA code in the access database.

The powershell script boils down to something like this:

$Table = 'tblUsers'
$Filepath = 'C:\tblUsers.csv'
$Acc = New-Object -Com Access.Application
$Acc.OpenCurrentDataBase($DBFilePath)
$Acc.DoCmd.Transfertext(2, [Type]::Missing, $Table, $Filepath, 1)

One of the tables has a column with a Number field where the Field Size is Double, Format is Percent, and Decimal Places are set to 2. The field contains values like 100%, 50%, and 87.5%. When I run this command the output in the CSV for a 100% value is ,1.00, while the output for 87.5% is ,0.87,. It seems that something in the process is dropping significant digits of precision for these columns.

Is there a way in the script to ensure I get all the significant digits of every column in the database? Are there other kinds of columns to be worried about?

There are 2 solutions I know that have drawbacks:

If it is at all possible, I want a new answer instead of these 2. These 2 answers have significant drawbacks.

1. From this forum thread: Change the language settings on the computer so it shows more (up to 9) decimals. I don't want the whole computer decimal setting to have to change and I don't want to just have a new limit at 9 instead of 2 - what if a number in the database has 15 significant digits after the decimal point?
2. Use a query to specify the data and cast the number to a string. This has the drawback of requiring me to review the definition of each column and write queries for every table. I'm exporting 30+ tables with hundreds of columns so this would be too much work.

Answer 1

此代码应导出结果，而不对 Access 表或计算机设置进行任何修改。

1）它使用Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 driver

2) 唯一的限制是它必须通过 运行PowerShell x86，由于这个限制。或者，您可以安装 64 位驱动程序（帖子中的链接）。

该访问表 ( tblFruit) 有 3 个字段：

• ID - 自动编号
• 水果 - 短文本
• 百分比 - 数字，字段大小：双精度，格式：百分比，小数位数：2。

$csvPath = 'C:\temp\output.csv'
$dbPath = 'C:\temp\database1.mdb'
$strQuery = "SELECT * from tblFruit"

$strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=$dbPath"

$connection = New-Object -TypeName System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
$connection.ConnectionString = $strConn 
$command = $connection.CreateCommand()
$command.CommandText = $strQuery
$adapter = New-Object -TypeName System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter $command
$dataset = New-Object -TypeName System.Data.DataSet
$adapter.Fill($dataset)
$dataset.Tables[0] | export-csv $csvPath -NoTypeInformation
$connection.Close()

输出：

"ID","Fruit","Percent"
"1","Apple","0.0142"
"2","Orange","0.3412"
"3","Banana","0.8715"
