DbfUpsize.dll documentation

[rdonnay]

Does anyone have documentation for DbfUpsize.dll ?

I have seen references to functions in DbfUpsise.dll but cannot find any documentation.

I'm working on a new project for New York Courts, converting their old Xbase++ documentation to PostGresSql.

I understand how to use dbfupsize.exe to import from an .upsize file, but I'm hoping there is a tool that will help me create a new .upsize file from a set of DBFs and CDXs so I don't have to hand type a bunch of XML.

NEVERMIND:

I just recalled that I went thru this process several years ago with another customer but it was cancelled.
I created a program in Xbase++ that creates the upsize file from a directory of data files.

Hi, Roger.

There is no tool to create an upsize file from a folder or list of tables. We created our own tool (I wrote you an email about that).

The DbfUpsize-DLL publishes only one function "DbfUsize(<Name_of_upsize_file>,[<oLogger>])". The only difference to running it directly is the control about the logger output. There is a sample for that in the documentation.

The documentation for upsizing isn't clear whether or not a table is deleted in the database, if it already exists, before importing the data from the .DBF.

I expect that we will be upsizing data quite often during the development process.

Any info on this?

Existing tables are replaced by the upsizing process. It recreates all tables. Don't upsize into a working database.

Upsizing the data with 5 index files that contained UDF's went well.

I had to make some changes to my SqlQuery program to be able to load a UDF dll and developer license in SqlQuery.Ini.

I'll post an update soon after some more testing.
