dbf

I am attempting to pick apart a DBF file using the code in THIS AskTom post however I have no clue where I would even go to figure out how the files I'm wanting to pick apart are formatted? How was the original AskTom answer even produced? How do I figure out the dbf Header. How do I know where within the dbf file the data is stored or even how to pull out that data? My goal is to work with the code provided and come up with a solution as others have done but I'm stuck at the very first part. While researching this I found that there are many systems that use DBF files. ACCESS and MS Excel

I'm having a problem opening a DBF file - I need to open it, read everything and process it. I tried several solutions (ODBC/OLEDB), several connection string, but nothing worked so far. The problem is, when I execute the SQL command to get everything from the file, nothing gets returned - no rows. What's even more odd, the content of the DBF file being opened get deleted. See the code I have: public override bool OpenFile(string fileName, string subFileName = "") { OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + Path.GetDirectoryName(fileName) + "

I want to create a .DBF file from SQL table records. Such as if there is a table named CountryMaster in SQL and it has 5 columns: ID int identity(1,1) Name varchar(100) Details varchar(200) Status bit CreatedDate datetime And it has 100 rows. How can I export these records with headers in .DBF file from C#? NOTE: Created .DBF file size must be very compact. You can see the Xbase Data file (*.dbf) structure and write your own code but I have done the implementation and have been using it for years. Here you can find it on GitHub How to use the library There are some write methods in a file

Alright, I'm using an ancient database format here, dbf files. Don't ask why, just know a certain software decided to extend foxpro support because microsoft decided to extend foxpro support. Now, I'm getting the following error on a specific file. I have successfully loaded another file and I'm curious if there is something wrong with this database. I'm sure you probably need to look at the database to determine that, but its way to huge to post so I'll take what I can get. Traceback (most recent call last): File "billsapi.py", line 250, in <module> x.getUsedGuns() File "billsapi.py", line 72

I have a DBF file and I'm trying read it from c# code. I can read files successfully without applying any conditions or applying conditions for varchar type fields.My problem is I have to filter the records from the Date field (type:date). I have tried following ways, SELECT * FROM D:\DBFreader\file.dbf where [RDATE] between 2/16/2006 12:00:00 AM and 2/20/2006 12:00:00 AM above gives a syntax Error: missing operator SELECT * FROM D:\DBFreader\file.dbf where [RDATE] between '2/16/2006 12:00:00 AM' and '2/20/2006 12:00:00 AM' above gives a data type mismatch error SELECT * FROM D:\DBFreader\file
