dbf2mysql


Description.

This Project is intended to continue a nice hack `abandonned' by his original author (Maarten Boekhol (boekhold@cindy.et.tudelft.nl): dbf2mysql.

When I first used the package, I needed to upload dbf files to a running MySQL db, since it was not possible to do so without taking mysqld down and restarting it with --sg, I added -P (to grab password); -U (to grab the usrname) and got rid of mktemp() to the saffest mkstemp().
I tried to contact the author and one of the packagers I found in one 1.10d rpm release (I don't remember his name) but without success.

If anyone knows one of the authors/contributors, please feed the url to him/her so I could lend the project back to the owner. If I keep without any news from her/him/them, I will still keep all the credits he/she/they hardly owned by writting this usefull code, specially for the guys who lives in developping countries and are still using Xbase format alot! Thanks Maarten!
