Import .dbf files
am 19.07.2011 21:52:38 von AndrewMcHorney
Hello
I am about to create a database in mysql. I would like to be able to import some dbase3 (.dbf) files into the tables I will be defining. What is the easiest way to import the table. Is there software that can be downloaded that will allow me to do this?
Andrew

Andrew,
You are likely on your own for this one. It sounds like a job for a
reasonable proficient scripter. DBase III was obsolete when I
started my professional career in 1988. Even then, the files were not
compatible with DBase IV which you *might* find some tools for.

Hi Andrew,
You might want to look for conversion tools like
http://dbfview.com/how-to-open-dbf.html so you can dump dbase files into
some other type of files readable by MySQL

Hi,
You want to look at www.xharbour.org. A 32bit open source compiler for
dbase/clipper code. We're currently using it to write apps accessing
mysql data.
Another option is www.advantagedatabase.com, a full sql database server
for dbf files. It has a local server (think sqlite) as well as a host of
client interfaces available with which you would be able to connect to
via odbc, .net, jdbc etc to retrieve your data that way.
