Is this address on our web site. It should be.

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
