DBF Sync
-
Version
1.47
The DBF Sync application is a comprehensive solution
for updating, or synchronizing, selected fields
in .dbf files. IT professionals, db system
administrators and any other database users will find
this Wizard based tool indispensable and easy to use
for the routine maintenance of their data. The
application has a variety of features that make it
perfect for automation and scheduling of a variety of
routine database tasks.
A typical use for this program would be for updating a
main file with fields that include 'product
id', 'product name' and 'product price'. A second
update file could contain updated prices and product
names. Any of the fields in the update file can be
used to update fields in the main file.
They are selected from within DBF Sync.
The program supports projects which allow settings and
file details to be entered and stored for future use.
The program supports a command line interface and can
be automatically executed from an application
scheduler, such as the Windows Scheduled Tasks wizard.
Users need a way to operate powerful database tools so
that they can see the effect of operations without
accidentally damaging the data. DBF Sync can be run in
simulation mode. In this mode it shows operations that
would have been done but without affecting the target
data.
The program saves details of operations to a log file
together with changes that the program made. There are
options for the log file to overwrite existing
contents or to append new entries to the end of the
log. To guard against accidental data loss DBF
Synchronizer can make backup copies of the
target file before updating. On completion the user
can view all changes either in the log file or by
opening a unique 'visual synchronization' window,
where all the changes are displayed in a visual color-
coded format.
Supported DBF formats include Clipper, Dbase III/IV,
FoxPro, and Visual FoxPro. DBF Sync runs under Windows
98/NT/2000/XP/2003
