There was a utility in Oracle V6 (DOS and OS/2 versions) and V7 (OS/2 version).
It prepared a sqlloader control file based on the DBF file. It didn't work
with Foxbase files though.
Actually, DBF files are fixed-length files. So if you spend some time, you'll
be able to write sqlloader control file for particular DBF file. You'd need
a separate control file for every structure of DBF.
