How to view .mdb dataset on kaggle? - kaggle

Question

I load this dataset in this way:
Add data > Search for the dataset name (clova deep text ...) > Add
After the dataset is loaded and is visible in the sidebar, I found a data.mdb and lock.mdb inside every subfolder. I need to examine the contents, view images, view labels ... What should I do to open / view contents in / modify this weird format?
Based on Luke's suggestion I tried apt install mbtools, the installation starts and I'm prompted to enter y/n and unable to because the cell doesn't let you. If I try passing -y I get a unrecognized argument thing. Then I tried the following which complains about the missing package.
pip install mbtools meza
from meza import io
records = io.read('/kaggle/input/clova-deeptext/clova_deeptext/data_lmdb_release/training/ST/data.mdb')
print(next(records))

WARNING: Running pip as the 'root' user can result in broken permissions and conflicting behaviour with the system package manager. It is recommended to use a virtual environment instead: https://pip.pypa.io/warnings/venv
You must install [mdbtools](http://sourceforge.net/projects/mdbtools/) in order to use this function

Answer 1

Try using the following snippet:
!sudo apt install mdbtools # Library that allows access to MDB files programatically
!pip install meza # A Python toolkit for processing tabular data
from meza import io
records = io.read('database.mdb') # Use only file path, not file objects
print(next(records))
