Re: FW: Dbf to Pg converter

FYI I have hacked around with this to make a another sort of import program
for DBF's.



First there's a Foxpro export program that exports all databases to
      individual text files containing SQL

This renames invalid field/table names and handles embedded quotes and
      CR/LF's in text, that sort of thing.



On the Linux box, there is a text file of all the text files to be imported
      (one file per table)

A C program reads this and the SQL inside performed (e.g. create table and
      lots of inserts)

If a file imports it is removed from the main file, so it can be re-run in
      case of failure of

any one file. This makes it much easier to handle errors when you have lots
      of tables/data



I used it to import all data from a large Foxpro database but would also
      work for DBase/Clipper

Memo's are not properly supported yet...



Its very fast, unlike ODBC which is why I did it in the first place!



I anyone is interested I will send it to you,

MC.
