I need to convert dbf files from a clipper application into Oracle databases. I exported the dbf files into ascii files using dbu.exe, however all content of the memo fields gets lost. So it's no use. The alternative is to write a programm which writes me an ascii file for import into Oracle. Since I have to convert numerous databases this would be very time consuming.
Is there any smarter way.
