I'm still don't understand what the structure of dBase2 is. How
can you use two or more tables in a query for example using this
database engine?
Some light reading required?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBase
File formats:
dbase II: http://www.fileformat.info/format/dbf/corion-dbase-ii.htm
http://www.clicketyclick.dk/databases/xbase/format/
dbase III: http://www.fileformat.info/format/corion-dbase-iii.htm
It has been my experience, and that is from the 90s, so maybe others on
this forum with later experience or knowledge can confirm or deny that,
that dbase2 or 3 does not use SQL. The wikipedia url above confirms
that. dbase does everything with a command file (.CMD) using a dbase
Programming Language. Base does not attempt to use the CMD files. It
only imports the dbase data from the DBF files. Even so, it has been my
experience that trying to import dbase III+ (c. 1990) DBF files into
Base does not work. They are too old and Base does not go back that far
in DBF file formats.
Hope this helps.
