If you have access to the Clarion database tools then it'= s really a pretty trivial task to export scripts to somthing more readable.=

If you don't have access to any of the tools that created= your database, eg. you are coverting a client off a TPS based DB to a Post= greSQL DB, you've got a problem.

TPS seems to be closly guarded file format. I have not be= en able to find any publicly avalible information or utils to help. -( othe= r than there is not help. )

There are ODBC drivers for TPS files avalible (http://www.softvelocity.com/products/pr_database_tsodbc.htm) They = cost somewhere in the order of $250USD

There are a couple of applications that can extract data = from the TPS files and export then as flatfiles, but these are quite hard t= o get hold of as they are part of the Clarion tool set. - Clarion programme= rs are your friends...

Still, the ODBC Driver is probably your best bet as it al= lows 'no-mess no-fuss' dumping of your data directly into Postgres. ;)
