If by .dbf you mean DBASE, then here is one method to convert DBASE tables to Oracle tables:

There are various methods here for converting Oracle tables to text files:

Just about any program can load and unload text files. In Oracle, you can use SQL*Loader or external tables to load them. In DBASE, you should be able to find some copy or list commands to dump them to text files. Various XBASE programs, such as FoxPro can also read .dbf files. So, you can export them from there also. You may also be able to connect from one to the other using ODBC or use migration. So, there are lots of options to choose from.

Is this an Oracle question.
If not, you choose the wrong forum.

Hi,

First create a .DBF file as the same stracture of the text file.
Open the .DBF file in Foxpro then apply the command "appe from
<your text file name> SDF"

For vice-versa : Copy to <your text file name> SDF

Regards

Don't multipost.
Don't use "urgent".
Post only Oracle questions.
Read OraFAQ Forum Guide.
