There are times when a database administrator has to work with .dbf databases created in many different packages such as Clipper, dBase, FoxBase, Foxpro. For all the advanced features each of them provides, none of them can be considered as an all-in-one tool that can be used to view and edit databases created in other packages. Buying all these tools comes with an impressive price that not everyone is ready to pay. Knowing this, developers from Hi Base Group designed an a remarkably powerful and affordable tool called Advanced DBF Editor.
DBF Editor is a tool specifically designed to view and edit DBF databases created 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 an advanced 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 problems.
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 changes, you only need to double-click the required records and key in your own values to the fields in the record editing dialog that appears. You do editing on the fly as your examine a database, and there is no need to run another database package for making a few quick changes. If you have a large database, you can still quickly find a record you want by utilizing 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 delete duplicates that may often be found in a large database.
In addition to viewing and editing, the program can help you to convert a database to new database formats without the need to install extra database program. Let's say, for instance, 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 tool to open DBF. You can open the database in Advanced DBF Editor, choose XLS in the Export dialog and save as needed. What's more, you can export a database to other formats including DBF, TXT, CSV, HTML, XML, PRG, SQL, RTF.
Some people purchase many different database packages to view, edit, or export different DBF databases. This may cost much. Now you have an opportunity to save money and get the features of all these applications in a single universal database utility that will not burn holes in your pockets when you purchase it.
