Many database administrators know that viewing or editing a DBF file requires a dedicated database software package. There are lots of them out there, Clipper, dBase, FoxPro are just a few to mention. And each of these comes with its own price tag. Until lately, you had only one choice – purchase dedicated database creation packages to be able to work on different kinds of DBF databases. It could cost hundreds of dollars and even more, plus days of learning to get some solid insight into how to use these tools. But it doesn’t have to be that way and here I’d like to tell you about an inexpensive and easy DBF Editor that can make any geek’s propeller twirl.
DBF Editor is a small utility you may use to view and edit all kinds of DBF databases, regardless of the program used to create it. The latter could be Clipper, dBase, FoxBase, Foxpro, Visual Foxpro. When looking at the tools and options provided by the program, they look impressive. For instance, you can view and sort records in a database by fields, use a query by example (wildcards and expressions). Advanced DBF Editor also allows you to go under the hood and edit records in a database in a very convenient manner. At any point, you can roll back changes using the multiple undo operation, or restore deleted records.
Other valuable features worth mentioning include the program’s ability to edit memo fields in database files; The utility also makes a nice database converter to other formats. You can select from a variety of formats to export. The program does the conversion on its own without you needing to know how to do it. The result is always an accurately ported file in a new format.
As compared to similar applications, Advanced DBF Editor has a high-performance algorithm that has been honed for speed and stability. With that kind of the algorithm, you can be certain your program will run without slowdowns or disruptions even when you process batch files, or files with over 20 gigabytes of data.
Advanced DBF Editor proves to be an inexpensive alternative to a whole set of costly database creation applications. It sells for $39.95 and gives all the tools and options to edit all kinds of DBF files.
