Dialect differences

FoxPro is a database server and TXT is a file format, so the gap is wider than a dialect difference - the rows below are where values and structure stop lining up.

Propertyin FoxProin TXT
port(file-based)—
identifiers—None by convention
row limit(driver dependent)—
datesDate (D)Whatever the writer produced; no convention is guaranteed
long textMemo (M)—
binaryGeneral (G)Not supported
separator—Whatever was chosen - often fixed column widths
encoding—No declaration - UTF-8 works only with a BOM
typing—None - every field is text
shapeTables of rows and columnsFree form; a parser has to be told the layout
ceiling—No formal limit

No counterpart

  • TXT has no equivalent for Date and time - it has to be flattened or dropped.
  • TXT has no equivalent for JSON - it has to be flattened or dropped.
