Your current code is caused to fail by the next inputs:
- when the data has null number values.
You can probe it with the examples in:
http://www.clicketyclick.dk/databases/xbase/index.shtml.en
Now I have a new version of dbf2sql with some bug fixed:
- Support MEMO fields.
- Support Float Point fields.
- Exclude deleted records.
- Replace ' with \' in strings.
- do all inserts in one transaction.
And my script support all examples of above url.
My program fixes that the current one does not.
