REAL DBF2SQL Description
Database files store incredibly large amounts of data, which might not exactly be compatible with other types of databases. On the bright side of things, specialized applications like REAL DBF2SQL make it possible to generate SQLite databases from scripts, or entire dBase files.
Start from an SQLite or dBase file
A first cool thing about it is that you don’t even have to go through a setup process to make it work. This makes it possible to have it stored on a USB flash drive in case you need or want to perform this type of database conversion on other computers. The only requirement is .NET Framework, but latest iterations of Windows usually come with it as a default feature.
Once the program interface is on-screen, you need to load the database file type of interest to get started. This can happen with either an SQLite or dBase file. You’re asked to select the table to view, but you can also easily switch it from the dedicated panel.
Choose components to export and the result type
When it comes to dBase files, the application allows you to view and edit database content, whereas SQLite files can only be viewed. Column formatting can be changed to suit your needs, but this only applies as a visual effect, leaving the original and new files intact.
Exporting can be done in several ways. On the one hand, the application allows you to load multiple dBase files in order to generate an SQLite database file for each corresponding dBase one. This is also an effective method of generating SQL scripts based on dBase files.
On the other hand, processed content can result in an SQLite file, or even script. In fact, the currently active content can be saved as SQLite or SQL script.
As mentioned, batch exporting is supported, with a variety of configurations before this is done. You get to choose items you wish to export from your database, with the possibility of exporting a single database or script, or individual corresponding files.
In conclusion
To sum it up, REAL DBF2SQL is a practical tool which comes with a variety of ways to create SQLite files or SQL scripts. Batch exporting is possible, with options to export a single item, or corresponding ones for each original item.
