There are times when a database administrator has to work with DBF databases made in many different packages like Clipper, dBase, FoxBase, Foxpro. For all the advanced features each of them gives, none of them can be considered as a universal tool that can be used to view and modify databases created in other packages. Buying all these packages comes with an big price that not everyone is ready to pay. Knowing this, engineers from Hi Base Group designed an amazingly powerful and affordable tool called Advanced DBF Editor.
DBF Editor is a application specifically designed to view and modify DBF databases made in all popular database packages. When I say popular, I am referring to Clipper, dBase III/IV, FoxBase, Foxpro, Visual Foxpro. The editor provides you a powerful arsenal of tools and options of a professional database package but, unlike its bigger brothers, it has faster performance. By adopting Advanced DBF Editors, you get everything you need to deal with different DBF databases without headaches.
Using Advanced DBF Editor, you can, for instance, examine records and memos in DBF databases with just a few mouse clicks. To make a few small edits, you only need to double-click the required records and type in your own values to the fields in the record editing dialog that appears. You do editing on the go as your examine a database, and there is no need to run another database package for making a few quick edits. If you have a large database, you can still quickly find a record you want by using a simple search, query, or filtering. What’s more, the program can also help you to search and replace particular values in fields with the new ones automatically, add new records to the database, find and remove duplicates that may often be found in a large database.
In addition to viewing and modifying, the editor can help you to convert a database to new database formats without the need to install additional database program. Let’s say, for instance, you need to send a database to your colleague who wants you to export it to Excel XLS because he does not have a necessary application to open DBF. You can open the database in Advanced DBF Editor, select XLS in the Export dialog and export as needed. In addition, you can export a database to other formats including DBF, TXT, CSV, HTML, XML, PRG, SQL, RTF.
Some companies purchase many different database packages to view, modify, or export different DBF databases. This may cost a lot. Now you have a chance to save money and get the features of all these tools in a single all-in-one database utility that will not burn holes in your pockets when you purchase it.
