Hi,
where has it gone?
Not where it's referenced in the Database HowTo, not findable under
third party on the web site, not findable in the ftp tree ...
Ciao
Ulrich

Did you try ftp://sti1.uni-duisburg.de/pub/Database/dbf2sql? I found
it there a while ago, but don't know if it is still there.
Is it still being maintained? Should a copy be at postgresql.org?
Cheers,
Brook

I looked for dbf2pg, is the dbf2sql usable for PG?
It is referenced in the Database-Howto a zillion times ( :-) ) on the
net, but it isn't on the PostgreSQL server anywhere.
I don't know, if it is maintained, but I think, it doesn't need that
much maintainance, dbf i quite stable and PostgreSQL sql syntax is
too. It can be labled as third party and therefore not supported.
I think, dbf2pg is rather useful and should be referenced somewhere.

I looked for dbf2pg, is the dbf2sql usable for PG?
Here is part of the README:
dbf2sql v2.2
OVERVIEW:
From this source you can build programs to convert xBase-style .dbf-files
to an mSQL or an Postgres95 table. Which one is the target is selected
on compile-time. The resulting binaries will have different names (dbf2msql
and dbf2pg resp.). Note that there are some limitations to these programs:
they do not support memo-fields, logical fields (type 'L' in dBase) are
converted to 'char(1)' (for mSQL, for Postgres95 this is 'char'), date-fields
are written as char(8) (or whatever length dBase gives these files).
It is referenced in the Database-Howto a zillion times ( :-) ) on the
net, but it isn't on the PostgreSQL server anywhere.
I don't know, if it is maintained, but I think, it doesn't need that
much maintainance, dbf i quite stable and PostgreSQL sql syntax is
too. It can be labled as third party and therefore not supported.
True enough, but there are aspects that are not supported (see
above). I guess I was wondering about whether or not these were being
addressed.
Cheers,
Brook

Here it is. If somebody could please place this on ftp.postgresql.org? I'm getting
quite a few requests for this....
