DBF to MSSQL

Database conversion could be a quick and easy process if you turn to the right software utility. If you are looking for an application that can handle large files without making a compromise as far as speed is concerned, turning your eyes to DBF to MSSQL could be a good idea.

As you have probably already figured out just by reading its name, the program it not a universal database converter, but is aimed at users who intend to migrate their DBF tables to Microsoft SQL Server or SQL Azure.

Installing the software utility on your system should not take more than a couple of seconds, with the entire process being unremarkable in a good way. As for the user interface you are met with, it should be pointed out that it was built as a wizard that shows your way through the conversion tasks step by step.

The first screen that pops up shows an interesting thing about the app, specifically that it can not only migrate your data to an MS SQL server directly but also export it to a local T-SQL script file. If you are thinking about skipping the configuration process, this window enables you to do that too by resorting to a profile containing all settings you have previously used in an operation.

Now let’s take a look at the steps you need to take if you intend to create a new DBF database. First and foremost, you need to connect to your MS SQL server either using your Windows credentials or your SQL server login details, with the possibility of specifying whether you are the database owner.

Next, you need to provide the source and output database names, with the same screen allowing you to convert table definitions only, not to convert deleted records, and convert logical values as is. Apart from that, the program lets you use encoding.

As for your DBF tables, which, it must be pointed, out can be FoxPro, Dbase, or Clipper, the application can handle them individually, with the possibility of effortlessly indicating strictly the ones you are interested in and renouncing all the others.

On an ending note, DBF to MSSQL is a capable software solution any user trying to move their DBF tables to a new or existing MS SQL database could take for a spin.

The app puts lots of emphasis on efficiency and performance, being easy to use thanks to its wizard-like GUI. It comes with support for command line tasks, lets you resort to a quick-launch mode, and is overall approachable, for which reason we recommend it to anyone looking for a tool of this kind.
