Export DBF to Oracle

When working with databases, it is often necessary to transfer data from one system to another. The DBF format is widely used for storing tabular information in such programs as dBase, FoxPro, and many others. However, modern enterprise solutions are most often based on powerful database management systems such as Oracle. Therefore, users need a simple and reliable way to export data from DBF files to Oracle.

In this article, we will show you how to efficiently transfer tables from DBF format to an Oracle database using the DBF Viewer 2000 program. This method is suitable both for single operations and for regular data exchange between systems.
