What do you use for edit/manage data in DBF?

[Dragan Cizmarevic]

Maybe nothing to do with programming but has to work everyday and I ask what use to view and change the DBF, data and structure?

I am satisfied with dbMAX ( http://www.the-oasis.net/ftpmaster.php3?content=ftputils.htm and look for dbx130.zip ) but it is very old program from 20 years ago

Is there anything similar in the Windows version?

Thanks for raising this issue. Don't remember whether checked it or not in the past.

I'm very comfortable with Foxbase+. It has the multi-user ver. MF, but think gives run time internal error in certain Windows XP and higher (not checked for long).

Can anyone suggest any free/open source which is simple, clean and light like foxbase and works in any Windows version (expecting on Win 7)? Best could be Foxbase+ running on multi-user environment (shared dbfs) on Windows 7......... 

I'm aware of http://www.foxbase.org/ , which is selling foxbase. Though not checked deeply for the exact product ver. which fulfills my requirement and the authenticity of it.

Regards,

Swapan, India

I create this source in Clipper days and use inside application.
My use is less than 1 time per month, then I change only when need anything or found an bug in use.
I use inside application. Include some reduced routines to work out of application.
Only small test after change to run isolated.
Time ago i make several changes, but don't test all options.
(Made some changes just now, in edit)

Simulate some foxbase/dbase commands.
From Clipper days using ntx, but uses application default.
Changed to use special alias when filename not alias compatible.
I don't use everyday, sometimes need make corrections.
Not /w3 /es2 compatible.
Can't create tag index.

Probably you are not aware of HbDBU.

Download Windows Installer from :

http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtcontribs/files/?source=navbar 

It has many-many features:

1. Is open source.

2. Is pure .prg source dependent ( you need to recompile for others ).

2. Is multi-platform.

3. Has state-of-the-art user-interface, configurable at developers level.

4. Is based on application-embaddable COM like component, if you intend to develop some app on HbQt.

5. Supports maximum database operations.

6. Is able to save/restore multiple panels/views for future runs.

   Next run will open the tables in same order and on same record and in the same sized windows.

7. Has visually inter-linked parent/child relational protocol.

Plus many more, you need to explore.

Also any request to add/modify a feature is entertained with almost high priority.

Give it a try. 

Also you may be interested in going through this thread quickely:

You can read DBF files from Open Office or Libre Office spreadsheet. They are fully Open source.
You can create a database using these spreadsheets and save as .DBF file or CSV (coma delimited) or .TXT (Tab delimited) file.
http://www.openoffice.org
I think they are available for Windows and Linux.

I now use HMG Data Base Assistant v.3.12.1 running under Windows 7 64 bit and prior to that I used a version of DBU compiled using Harbour.

Just want to inform you, that I've published new Dbc versions on my site http://www.kresin.ru . Besides console programs there are now GUI versions of Dbc, for DBFCDX/DBFNTX and for LetoDB.

Regards, Alexander.

[Dragan Cizmarevic]

Thank you for new version

I started a new program, and if you do not mind I have a suggestion

DBCH works, but the driver DBFCDX is default and should always be fixed, whether it be somewhere remember?

DBCHW doing just that CDX indexes, I need NTX

We were unable to make the compilation (GCC), but it is my problem that I have to learn

Regards, Dragan

My open source program Data Globe can do all these tasks easily.  It's a free, general purpose DBF editor.  The current version is a Windows console mode application.  http://kevincarmody.com/dg.html
