#3396: db.in.ogr fails with .dbf files created with Visual Foxpro -------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: maitl | Owner: grass-dev@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Database | Version: 7.2.1 Keywords: | CPU: Unspecified Platform: MSWindows 7 | -------------------------+------------------------- Import of .dbf table created with Visual Foxpro ends with "ERROR: Input DSN <C:\mytable.dbf> not found or not readable" . The problem is probably related to the .dbf file header where file structure is described (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa975386(v=vs.71).aspx).
When I converted the problematic table in Visual Foxpro environment to Foxpro 2.x format (command COPY TO mytable_fox26x TYPE FOX2X), then dbf.in.ogr works. If fixing the issue is complicated, then I suggest to add a note to manual that "dBASE tables created with Visual Foxpro are not supported" and a recommendation how to proceede. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/3396> GRASS GIS <https://grass.osgeo.org>
