Check the mail archive. There's plenty of answers... Maybe it's time to insert these answers in a FAQ or How-to, isn't it ?

Hi All, I'm trying to do the same thing here at work, and I've looked at the mail list archives. There's a reference to dbf2psql in a couple of messages, but can anyone point me to a resource for it please.

Hmm, all I can find is a program called dbf2pg. It was originally a dbf->mSQL tool, with pgsql syntax grafted on. That's in the Debian linux distro. The package can be found at: http://www.debian.org/Packages/unstable/misc/dbf2pg.html Links to the source tarball are at the bottom of that page. While hunting this up, I tripped over: http://home.snafu.de/wehe/apps_db.html which lists another xbase tool: http://w3.man.torun.pl/~makler/prog/pg2xbase/ Ross -- Ross J.

it was part of a program generator written by someone in england i think, for pgsql. look for AppGEN. At 10:40 AM 6/19/00 -0500, Ross J.
