DBF to SQL Converter

DBF to SQL Converter is a relatively simple piece of software that enables you to convert DBF files to SQL scripts. It can be very valuable when transferring data to a new system, and it is not at all difficult to use.

The application features a streamlined, clear-cut layout that first-time users should find to be very accessible, and it is bundled with a short but helpful user manual.

DBF files can be added to the processing queue using drag and drop actions, and the built-in viewer enables you to analyze their contents before they are converted. You can then easily remove files that do not need to be processed.

The various available features are organized into three tabs, making it simple to load files, define the output parameters and customize the conversion settings.

Because DBF to SQL allows you to alter multiple settings related to the output files, you can create scripts that are compatible with MS SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL and so on. For instance, it is possible to select the desired SQL syntax and type of quotes, remove trailing spaces and define the date format.

The application offers support for the dBase III, dBase IV, FoxPro, VFP and dBase Level 7 formats, and you can choose from a number of output encoding formats.

It is also worth mentioning that the program is capable of creating a separate script for each source file or merging them into one.

DBF to SQL does not require any advanced scripting knowledge in order to be used effectively, although having a good grasp of the basics would certainly help.

Thankfully, the available documentation does a good job of explaining how a simple conversion job can be completed and how you can take advantage of the more advanced settings that you are allowed to customize.
