DBF files (DBase, XBase etc.)

DBF files are a file format often used in old DOS applications. Each DBF file contains data for a single table.

The DBF file driver is primarly provided to help with migration of legacy data.

The GNUe DBF file driver comes with its own file parsing routines and does not depend on any external module.

Connection Properties

The following properties can be specified in your connections.conf file:

filename -- File name of the DBF file. Can contain %(home)s, %(configdir)s, and %(table)s placeholders. Using the %(table)s placeholder, this driver can be used to emulate a database with several tables.

Examples

The following is an example of a connection.conf entry:

  [myconn]
  provider = dbffile
  filename = %(home)s/data/%(table)s.dbf

Notes

This driver does not support write access.
