Dialect differences
Visual FoxPro is a database server and CSV is a file format, so the gap is wider than a dialect difference - the rows below are where values and structure stop lining up.
| Property | in Visual FoxPro | in CSV |
|---|---|---|
| port | (file-based) | — |
| identifiers | — | Double quotes; a literal quote is doubled ("" ) |
| row limit | (driver dependent) | — |
| dates | Date (D), DateTime (T) | Conventional text: 2026-09-18 or 2026-09-18 14:30:00 |
| long text | Memo (M) | — |
| binary | General (G) | Not supported |
| separator | — | Comma "," |
| encoding | — | No declaration - UTF-8 works only with a BOM |
| typing | — | None - every field is text |
| shape | Tables of rows and columns | Flat table, optional header row |
| ceiling | — | No formal limit; row count bounded by memory |
No counterpart
- CSV has no equivalent for JSON - it has to be flattened or dropped.
