I am not sure about the .dbf files.

But I converted some large data from ingres to Oracle using the utility sqlldr ( sqlloader). It is pretty much straight forward and creating the control files is pretty much easy. I converted the commas in ingres data files to spaces using sed editor in UNIX. Space is the delimiter for oracle files. If you need further info please drop me a line.
goodlucks,
