Free DBF Viewer is a completely free utility for working with DBF
database files. It allows you to view the data contained with the files
as well as create, edit and index data. A conversion component makes it
possible to convert your DBF files into a variety of other common
formats including dBase, FoxPro, Clipper and Visual FoxPro among others.
Data can also be exported to text-based files. Free DBF Viewer provides
a user-friendly interface which will be immediately recognizable to any
Windows user. It also recognises supported file types and shows them to
the user immediately.
One thing which sets Free DBF Viewer
apart from all of the competition is the very fact that it is completely
free, yet quality and extent of features are not sacrificed in any way.
It's very easy to use thanks to an intuitive interface which doesn't
require any special knowledge or experience. You will be able to see the
tree with the folders contained within the DPF files and any folder can
be easily opened just with a single click of the mouse. Free DBF Viewer
basically allows you to view the contents of a DBF file as though you
are using Windows Explorer itself. Right-click context menus are also
provided as well as a set of preconfigured hotkeys for your convenience.
Using Free DBF Viewer, you can filter the data contained in the DBF
files. There is a basic horizontal filter section which you can enable
through the database indexes or by SQL condition. Vertical filtering
using field selections is also possible. There are three ways to search
for data in the file, either by using a fast index-based search, a
slower serial search and a step-by-step search for more demanding
situations.
With Free DBF Viewer, it is possible to easily
import data from any of the listed text databases. You can also create a
new database file or add records to an existing database. The paper
report feature allows you to export data from the database into
Microsoft Excel spreadsheets or a text-based file. This is useful for
making the data more presentable either for printing or sharing with
others.
It's also possible to run SQL operations using Free DBF
Viewer provided that you download and install the free driver. The
driver is called "OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro" and you'll also be
able to find the link to the installation package from the Options menu
within Free DBF Viewer.
Free DBF Viewer is also able to view and
edit MEMO fields. In future versions of the software, it will also be
possible to preview images from BLOB fields. Data can be downloaded and
saved from both BLOB and MEMO fields to the hard disk.
Free DBF
Viewer ultimately allows you to carry out any operations with DBF files.
You can even create and modify the entire structure of the file as well
as create and edit indexes, re-index the database entirely and much
more. For both beginners and professionals alike, Free DBF Viewer
provides a wide set of tools which can come in extremely handy.
