foxpro

I'm migrating a Visual Fox Pro code to C #. NET What makes the Visual Fox Pro : generates a string of 5 digits ("48963") based on a text string (captured in a textbox), if you always enter the same text string will get that string always 5 digits (no reverse), my code in C #. NET should generate the same string. There is some code that I can not play in dot.net Rand (int) in VisualFoxPro: rand(intValue) in C #. net: Random r = new Random (); return r.Next(intValue); in C# I can´t generate a single value based on the same intValue I know they are very different libraries (VFP and C #) but not

We have an application that creates a number of Visual Foxpro (DBF) tables. Each of those tables have a different schema, but they all contain a known date field. I've been asked to create another application (in C#) that will copy the last week's worth of data from each table to a new table (in a different folder to the source tables). The distinct tables will remain (e.g. if there are three source tables, there will be three destination tables). Over time the tables may change (e.g. new fields added), so I can't make assumptions about table structure (apart from the existence of the

One of my clients has a Foxpro database ( .DBF file). I need to convert it into a SQL Server 2008 database. Does anyone have any idea how to do this? Kindly give me solution. Thanks in advance.... Try the following steps: 1.Create ODBC Data Source to DBF file 2.Using SQL Server Import Data Wizard (right click to database in the SSMS) 3.Choose Data provider for ODBC as data source 4.Map and import your data You can use the "Upsizing Wizard" from the Visual FoxPro program, it's located on Tools -> Wizards -> Upsizing Wizard. If you try this keep on mind two things: You need add the DBFs to a

I've got a bunch of FoxPro (VFP9) DBF files on my Ubuntu system, is there a library to open these in Python? I only need to read them, and would preferably have access to the memo fields too. Update : Thanks @cnu, I used Yusdi Santoso's dbf.py and it works nicely. One gotcha: The memo file name extension must be lower case, i.e. .fpt , not .FPT which was how the filename came over from Windows. cnu You can try this recipe on Active State . There is also a DBFReader module which you can try. For support for memo fields . I prefer dbfpy . It supports both reading and writing of .DBF files and

As the title says, I'm trying to import a FoxPro dbf file into sql server using openrowset. At first I tried to export the DBF to an xls file and import using the Import/Export wizard. This works pretty well normally, but there is one field that sometimes holds a really long string, and this string is being truncated at 4096 characters during the export from the dbf to xls. I found an old post with instructions on how to do this using openrowset. When I try the first answer: select * from openrowset('MSDASQL', 'Driver=Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver; SourceDB=\\path\; SourceType=DBF', 'select *

How can you import a foxpro DBF file in SQL Server? Use a linked server or use openrowset, example SELECT * into SomeTable FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL', 'Driver=Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver; SourceDB=\\SomeServer\SomePath\; SourceType=DBF', 'SELECT * FROM SomeDBF') I was able to use the answer from jnovation but since there was something wrong with my fields, I simply selected specific fields instead of all, like: select * into CERTDATA from openrowset('VFPOLEDB','C:\SomePath\CERTDATA.DBF';''; '','SELECT ACTUAL, CERTID, FROM CERTDATA') Very exciting to finally have a workable answer thanks to
