Here is the overview:

I have not seen good program for converting postgres table into DBF file,
and reverse. That is why I wrote this pg2xbase utility. This is my first
program written in C++, then there could be some lacks.

Vince.

Is there a dbase3 <=> postgresql converter available at all? I found
dbf2sql v2.2 which converts to (but not from) Postgres95, with notes such as

-p primary:
Select the primary key. You have to give the exact
field-name. (Only for dbf2msql, Postgres95 doesn't have a primary key)

which of course PostgreSQL does. Anyone know of something more recent?

I heared about some project called "xbase". Try to search FreshMeat for
"xbase", "dbf postgres" or such...

http://w3.man.torun.pl/~makler/prog/pg2xbase.html
this address is worth of checking - as I see - there are here utilities
for convertion from and to postgres.
Hope this helps

The main problem of such conversion is numerouse DBF format versions.
It different mainly in memo fields and floating numbers.

Sample conversion can easy be done by PHP or PERL, for advanced one
it's better to use ODBC under MS Win.

Hmmmm. I'm wondering. How many others here have written little utilities
to perform other one time or occasional tasks? We can put them all on one
web page.
