Обсуждение: DBF2PG
Hi, where has it gone? Not where it's referenced in the Database HowTo, not findable under third party on the web site, not findable in the ftp tree ...

where has it gone? Not where it's referenced in the Database HowTo, not findable under third party on the web site, not findable in the ftp tree ... Did you try ftp://sti1.uni-duisburg.de/pub/Database/dbf2sql? I found it there a while ago, but don't know if it is still there. Is it still being maintained? Should a copy be at postgresql.org? Cheers, Brook
I looked for dbf2pg, is the dbf2sql usable for PG? It is referenced in the Database-Howto a zillion times ( :-) ) on the net, but it isn't on the PostgreSQL server anywhere. I don't know, if it is maintained, but I think, it doesn't need that much maintainance, dbf i quite stable and PostgreSQL sql syntax is too. It can be labled as third party and therefore not supported. I think, dbf2pg is rather useful and should be referenced somewhere. > where has it gone? > > Not where it's referenced in the Database HowTo, not findable under > third party on the web site, not findable in the ftp tree ... > > Did you try ftp://sti1.uni-duisburg.de/pub/Database/dbf2sql?

I looked for dbf2pg, is the dbf2sql usable for PG? Here is part of the README: dbf2sql v2.2 OVERVIEW: From this source you can build programs to convert xBase-style .dbf-files to an mSQL or an Postgres95 table. Which one is the target is selected on compile-time. The resulting binaries will have different names (dbf2msql and dbf2pg resp.). Note that there are some limitations to these programs: they do not support memo-fields, logical fields (type 'L' in dBase) are converted to 'char(1)' (for mSQL, for Postgres95 this is 'char'), date-fields are written as char(8) (or whatever length dBase gives these files). It is referenced in the Database-Howto a zillion times ( :-) ) on the net, but it isn't on the PostgreSQL server anywhere. I don't know, if it is maintained, but I think, it doesn't need that much maintainance, dbf i quite stable and PostgreSQL sql syntax is too. It can be labled as third party and therefore not supported. True enough, but there are aspects that are not supported (see above). I guess I was wondering about whether or not these were being addressed. Cheers, Brook
