Pain-Free Way To Modify DBF Files

There are times when a database admin has to work with DBF databases
created in many different applications such as Clipper, dBase,
FoxBase, Foxpro. For all the functionalities each of them provides,
none of them serves as an all-in-one tool that can be used to view and
modify databases created in other packages. Purchasing all these tools
comes with an impressive price that not everyone is ready to pay.
Knowing this, developers from Hi Base Group created an a remarkably
powerful and affordable tool called Advanced DBF Editor.DBF Editor is
a tool specifically designed to view and modify DBF databases created
in all popular database applications. When I say popular, I am
referring to Clipper, dBase III/IV, FoxBase, Foxpro, Visual Foxpro.
The editor provides you a powerful set of tools and options of a
professional database application but, unlike its bigger brothers, it
has faster performance. By adopting Advanced DBF Editors, you get
everything you need to deal with various DBF databases without
problems.Using Advanced DBF Editor, you can, for example, view 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 needed 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 view a database, and there
is no need to run another database application for making a few quick
edits. If you have a large database, you can still quickly find a
record you need by utilizing a simple search, query, or filtering.
Besides, the editor 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 delete dupes that may often be found within a
large database.Besides viewing and modifying, the program can help you
to convert a database to new database formats without the need to
install extra database tools. Let's say, for example, you need to
email a database to your co-worker who wants you to export it to Excel
XLS as he does not have a proper application to open DBF. You can open
the database in Advanced DBF Editor, choose XLS in the Export dialog
and save as needed. In addition, you can export a database to other
formats such as DBF, TXT, CSV, HTML, XML, PRG, SQL, RTF.Some companies
buy several different database applications to view, modify, or export
various DBF databases. This may cost a lot. Now you have an
opportunity to save money and get the functionality of all these tools
in a single universal database tool that will not burn holes in your
pockets when you buy it.
