SMMT - 25 Apr 2004 02:48 GMT

Hi,

I'm looking for a free JDBC driver for dbf files using NTX and/or CDX index
files.
I google for it and I found many drivers you must pay and many free java
libraries (not JDBC ) for working with dbf. If you could help me find such a
diver I will be very greatfull.
In another hand, suposing I fail to find such a driver do you think writing
my JDBC driver using those free libraries woul be very dificult ? (they do
not implement SQL query so...)

Thank you for any help

If use succed using those libraries (I didn't) I suggest convert its data
into SQL statements to fill some server (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc. ) and then
after you fill that server use JDBC....
I mean you just copy database structure into create table statement, and
copy database entries into insert statements.

I can't convert. The data base is third party and so I cannot move it to
another format.
That's why I'm stick with this very old DB .

The tinySQL JDBC driver will read and write DBF files, but does NOT
make use of index files. It is completely license free and can be
used for any purpose without restriction. Unfortunately, there are
many limitations to it, some of which I am in the process of fixing.
You can find it at www.sourceforge.com by doing a search. The new
version will be announced at www.sqlmagic.com.
