postgresql

The PgDBF project is moving to its new home on SourceForge, at http://pgdbf.sourceforge.net/ . All new updates and code will be posted there.

Replacement Notice!

I'm dropping my work on this project in favor of PgDBF, which is functionally identical, faster, and easier to maintain. If this is your first time here, use that project instead. If you're already using XBaseToPg in production, you should probably switch anyway.

Introduction

So, you want to convert some FoxPro tables to PostgreSQL, huh? You're in the right place. Although this project works well for one-time data migrations, it's designed and highly optimized for regularly scheduled jobs.

Installation

1. Download the "xbase64-3.1.2.tar.gz" archive from the Xbase project at Sourceforge.
2. Extract it and apply the XbaseToPg patch below.

I wrote a Perl program to help my company migrate from Interbase to PostgreSQL by extracting a database's data and metadata and dumping it as a set of SQL commands (similar to pg_dump or mysqldump).
