CHANGELOG dbf - dBASE Reader and Converter
Author: Bjoern Berg <[email protected]>, Uwe Steinmann <[email protected]>
Please send suggestions, code pieces and comments directly to the authors
email address
File sorted in order of date of release
0.9.0 DEVELOPMENT
- (Release-Date)
- data in csv output is only surrounded by enclosure char if data
contains the separator char
- fixed output of numbers in sql output (sometimes a 'NULL' preceeded
the number)
- fixed wasting of memory in sql.c
- exporting dbase is possible
- new options --quiet, --start-record and --num-records
- new option --usecopy allows to use COPY instead of INSERT statement
in sql output.
- use libdbf for dBASE file access
- added option --nocreate, --tablename, --empty-str-is-null
- various speed improvements
- nicer formating of sql output, partial rewrite of code
- major update of man page
- endian swapping is now centralized for a better performance
- table dropping and Creation can be now deactivated
- fixed bug in sql export option when a column value is NULL.
- fixed column statistic if backlink is detected
- fixed handling of deleted datasets
- fixed --trim b|r which ate up 1 char strings
- checks if filesize equals calculated file size (could be disabled in dbf.h
by setting DBF_FILE_CHECK to 0)
- Paths to a backlink database are taken into account for header_length
calculation but not for processing
0.8.1 STABLE
2003-20-10 (Release-Date)
- fixed CSV converting, data sets are now converted properly
- using '-' as a filename means stdout
- fixed csv output. separator char within a field value are now treated
propperly (Uwe)
- Do not put the separator char after the last field in csv output (Uwe)
- Add field type, size and decimals to field name in first line of csv
output (Uwe)
0.8 STABLE
2003-11-09 (Release-Date)
- Changed the options parsing system and the options id, so that options
with a single hyphen can also be used and displayed in the help.
- Inserted a fail safe routine which checks that the original file will
never be overwritten if the options filename is missing
- Tab-separated files without quoted text-passages can be created by using
't' as separator.
- Fix for date strings in SQL: According the PostgreSQL manual, SQL (ANSI)
requires date strings to be quoted, ie. '20031029'
send in by Tommi Rintala, [email protected]
- Can differentiate between dBASE, FoxPro, FoxBase and Clipper
- --view-info reports the database type and version number
- supports datatypes int, float, double and logical in SQL and CSV
- introduced cast operations for CSV and SQL export
- differentiates between deleted and existent data sets
0.7 STABLE
2003-09-14 (Release-Date)
Changelog send in by Mikhail Teterin:
- Totally reworked options parsing.
- Using the new options-parsing scheme, I added the way to specify the
desired CSV separator, debug level, and string-trimming option (below).
- When outputing the SQL file, strings, probably, should not be trimmed,
and that is now a default. The trimming can now be specified as:
--trim {r|l|b}
- The two codepage-conversion functions combined into one, which is also
made table-driven.
- Record-conversion can now be turned off with the --noconv option.
- While input is still opened and read directly with open/read (perhaps,
it should stay that way), the output file is operated on using the stdio
functions fopen() and fprintf(), fputs, putc().
- Some reorganization in the variable-declaration and other cleanups...
0.6 STABLE
(Release-Date)
- dbf can export dBASE files to SQL instruction sets
- new Makefiles
- works on AIX 4.3.3
- new file system structure -> src contains all header and source files
- fixes in macro definitions
- increased macro MAX_FIELDS from 50 to 500 to solve bug #003 reported in
the document BUGS
- fixes in endian.c, reported by Uwe Steinmann
0.5 STABLE
2003-02-17 (Release-Date)
- Support for Big Endian systems (PPC): stable
- improvements in endian.h
* dbf.c:
- Removed free() calls on static buffers. char buffer[565656];
- Caught return from csv_open in csvhandle.
- initialised export_filename to NULL to ensure later calls like
if(export_filename) succeed correctly.
* iodbf.h:
- Made csv_open return the handle that it generates instead of 1.
- minor/major bugfixes
- and all changes made in the beta versions

0.3.1 DEVELOPMENT
23.11.2002 (Release-Date)
- Fix implementation send in by Andy Jeffries,
Email: [email protected]
Description:
I had a problem trying to convert a DBF file that was about 280Mb in size.
Basically you had a memory leak with your dynamically allocated buffers. [...]
The 280Mb file I was converting was using memory like it was going out
of fashion (getting up to 900Mb+ before being process-killed). It now
seems to use a constant 424Kb of memory (according to top).
0.2.7 STABLE
11.10.2002 (Release-Date)
- code cleanup to avoid warning messages in MSVC
- codepages.h:
warning C4305 in MSVC -> fixed
warning C4018 in MSVC -> fixed
- an_string.h:
warning C4018 in MSVC -> fixed
- changes will be added also to version 0.3.1 (coming soon)
0.3.0 DEVELOPMENT
05.10.2002 (Date of last fixes)
- table structure enhanced for dBASE IV and 5
- declared as BETA resp. development version
- automated codepage selection for western european languages
- CSV Export improved (faster now)
- field information and statistical output now reachable with a new flag (no
longer automated output)
- short help with description of new flags
0.2.6
20.09.2002 (Release-Date)
- short help / command overview is now officially implemented
- output improved (looks better now)
- dbf.c splitted to iodbf.h, an_string.h, statistic.h, tables.h
- code cleanup
0.2.5
15.09.2002 (Release-/Modification-Date)
- Implementation of Code Pages to view umlauts and special chars correctly
(this is a development feature which has to be tested by the people using
dbf, because I did not find any documentation about the reserved header
bits in dbf III. At the moment dbf controls the behaviour by Bit 31)
- Supported languages with special chars at the moment: german, french;
more to come
- for more details acc. to the new features check out the README and the
anubisnet Support Center
0.2
