Even if you are absolutely confident in the database software you have been using for years and have had absolutely no problems with, nothing and nobody guarantees that it will not happen in the other time. Databases are everywhere these days – from websites and accounting applications to customer management software and inventory management suites – simply because they are the most convenient and universal method of saving information of any kind. However, accidents happen regardless of our ability to control things – a sudden PC failure , a hardware malfunction or an OS crash can void your measures of precaution and corrupt your dbf file and the records in it. The consequences of such a damage are even more severe if the accident takes place while records are being added and there is no backup at hand, which often occurs in dynamic development environments. If you have a fixed deadline, this may jeopardize the success of the whole project.
However, a dbf database damage is something you can eventually cope with – either with someone’s help or on your own. If help is not available from outside, you will need a solid knowledge of the DBF file internals, experience of working with low-level tools and hours (or days) of time, which is always an issue. But if you are always on a tight schedule and know well in advance that you simply won’t have time to delve into the internals of the dbf database in case of a sudden database corruption, you should consider using specialized tools that will efficiently fix damaged DBF files and recover your information. A great example of such an application is DBF Repair. It works with database files directly and uses its proprietary recovery engine to scan the structure of your dbf database, identify the problem and repair it. Unlike many competitors, it restores headers and data records at the same time. The recovery process is truly fast and 100% automated, which makes it possible to fix dbf files of any size (very large files are supported) in a very short timeframe. The application will be equally efficient in the hands of a database administrators and a rookie – that’s how intuitive the interface is! All you need to do is open the broken file in DBF Recovery and wait until it finishes the recovery process. Database administrators will appreciate the ability to use the batch mode and the advanced command line mode, which can facilitate complex recovery tasks. DBF Recovery works with DBF tables of various formats – Clipper, Foxbase, FoxPro, Visual Foxpro, dBASE III/IV!
, Visual dBase Level 7 and others – and automatically detects their type, which minimizes your involvement in the recovery process. The application can be installed and used on all versions of Windows – from 95 to XP, Server 2003 and Vista.
Whatever your situation may be, DBF Recovery will give you the confidence you need so much in a rapidly changing business environment. This affordable and amazingly efficient solution will help you recover your priceless data and repair your database in a wink of an eye just when you need it!
