Walter, a consultant I know has made very good experience with this. He was regularly importing DBF tables (level 5 and 7) via ODBC. I encouraged him to try exporting them to CSV first, then to integrate them as external tables. He reported a massive speed gain (2 minutes vs. 2 hours). It's definitely worth a try! ------------------------------------ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Visit http://www.firebirdsql.org and click the Resources item on the main (top) menu.
