I have done something of the kind in the past by writing a program taking a .dbf file on its standard input and writing a control file including the data to its standard output, which was then awfully easy to load. I no longer have the program but it took about half a day to write, including the search on the internet to find out what the structure of a .dbf file is, because I had no idea about it. The only tricky thing I remember is that I wrote it to run on both Solaris and Tru64 and in one case (Solaris, I think) some bytes had to be swapped ('man swab'). -- HTH, Stephane Faroult Oriole Software -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Stephane Faroult INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
