How to convert FoxPro 6.0 to DBASE IV and DBASE IV to MSSQL

How to convert FoxPro 6.0 to DBASE IV and DBASE IV to MSSQL

Post by Herman Po » Sat, 10 May 2003 16:35:20



Hi out there,

I'm new to FoxPro.
I have to migrate abourt 150 FaxPro 6.0 *.dbf tables to MSSQL 8.00

I think, I have to do that in 2 steps:
1 - Convert FoxPro *.dbf to DBASE IV
2 - Import DBASE IV into MSSQL 8.00

I want to do that in a script.

But, I don't know the commands and if this is the right way to do that.

Any suggestions, examples would be great!!

With kind regards,

Herman

Herman,
Why do you need to convert to dBase first? Many people simply import VFP tables directly into SQL
Server databases - either using the VFP Upgrade Wizard or the SQL Server DTS capabilities.

1. Exporting dBASE IV memo field to ASCII file without using dbase IV

I need to export dbase IV files, which contain memo fields, to ASCII files,
without using the dbase IV database engine.  I have a Clipper program that
will do this for a .dbf that does not contain a memo field.  Is there a way
to do this for a .dbf that does contain a memo field?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
