Many years ago I have used the Halcyon. To access (read/write) DBF tables
with great results. Fast, cheap and complete source.
http://www.grifsolu.com/
Halcyon 6 is an xBase database engine written in Object Pascal for Delphi. It
allows the programmer to update DBF files using dBase, Clipper, or FoxPro index
(CDX, MDX, NDX, NTX) and memo (DBT and FPT) formats.
Halcyon 6 is purchased as a library of components that allow Halcyon to use the
standard Delphi data-aware components through their DataSource property. The
components in Halcyon 6 are THalcyonDataset, TCreateHalcyonDataset, and
THalcyonNavigator. You may also use the stand-alone database engine through an
included interface unit. Used this way it provides a powerful tool for dBase
access in console applications, such as CGI and ISAPI for web servers.
This version available for Delphi 4 and later.
Price: $100.00 US Complete source code is included in the purchase price.
DBF Desktop 3.1
DBF Desktop allows you to create new files and browse, edit, and add new
records to a DBF file. You can also change the field structure and change
between FoxPro, dBase 3, and dBase 4 memo files. Finally, you can add and
modify any CDX, MDX, NDX, or NTX index.
This program was written to demonstrate the power of the Halcyon 6 Database
Engine in Delphi.
This version is only available for Windows.
Price: Freeware.

Hi Cosmin
try The Advantage Database Server. The local server is free and
the code will scale to client server if needed.
We started using ADS to access Clipper code. The index croruption
disapeared over night.

FoxPro compatible DBF library
Hello everyone.
I'm only using the BDE for one thing: I'm using it to export all sorts
of things in the DBF format required by some financial reporting
applications. Unfortunately the BDE is big, bulky and buggy, and it
doesn't support the FoxPro for windows variant of DBF very well, I get
lots and lots of CDX errors. Also the BDE is really difficult to use in
the context I'm using it: I'm generating a new DBF file, I'm populating
it and then I need to copy it to a floppy or whatever. The BDE sometimes
keeps my file open (or keeps parts of it in cache) so the file I'm
copying is not working.
Question: What's the best DBF - Delphi library out there?
Thanks,
Cosmin Prund
