Importing ArcView Shapefile into a Database

2005-02-12 Thread David Blomstrom
I want to import some data into my database, but it's in an ArcView Shapefile, which I've never worked with. Does anyone know what kind of software I can use to access this data? Actually, I'd probably import it into a spreadsheeet first, then save it as a csv file and import it into my database.
