Re: How to import data from Dbase3?
Hi there's a free utility name dbf2mysql I assume you are running dbase3 plus under windows/dos Look for it in google or ask me and I would send it to you. I´ve used it under windows with dbf tables from Clipper, dBase and Fox It doesn't require ODBC drivers at all. greetings Mauricio On Wed, 2005-03-23 at 17:34, Karam Chand wrote: If Dbase3 has an odbc driver then you can use SQLyog (www.webyog.com) to import data to MySQL.

Re: How to import data from Dbase3?
Do you want to do a one time import ? Create an ODBC source that maps to the dBase datasource and write an application to read it from there and import into mysql. - Navneet BG Mahesh wrote: hi How do I import data from Dbase3 into MySQL? -- B.G.

Re: How to import data from Dbase3?
I remember seeing some JDBC drivers for Java to read dbase 3 files. So it might be a good idea to use that to understand the files and import the data using the mysql jdbc drivers into the mysql database. We can help you do it (provided you pay) since we have already done similar exercise for a customer using VB.NET. - Navneet BG Mahesh wrote: Actually I prefer to dump the dbase file on a Linux machine and directly import it into MySQL. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: How to import data from Dbase3?
Hi, How do I import data from Dbase3 into MySQL? My software, libmygis, is mainly designed for loading a set of Shapefiles into MySQL (.SHP, .SHX, .DBF) but it's perfectly well capable of loading just the dBase III/IV component. Grab libmygis-0.5.1 from: http://jcole.us/software/libmygis/ You should be able to load a file, e.g. foo.dbf, by doing: tools/mysqlgisimport -S foo | mysql -u myuser -p mydb It will automatically create a table suitable for the dBase file and load the records in with the above command.
