Importing SQL into DBF — Quick Facts

  • About this database: Plain dBase III/IV .dbf files - one table per file, no server.
  • Default port: (file-based)
  • Identifier quoting: (none)
  • Date / time types: Date (D)
  • Large text type: Memo (M)
  • Binary type: (none)
  • Command-line import: (none)

Common Pitfalls When Importing SQL into DBF

  • The .dbf file is rewritten in place, so an interrupted import can corrupt the table - keep a copy.
  • Field names are limited to 10 characters, so long source column names get truncated.
