There is an option "-s oldname=newname", which changes the old field name of
the dbf-file to the newname in PostgeSQL. If the length of the new name is 0,
the field is skiped. If you want to skip the first field of the dbf-file,
you get the wildest error-messages from the backend.
dbf2pg load the dbf-file via "COPY tablename FROM STDIN". If you skip the
first field, it is an \t to much in STDIN.
A fix could be an counter j=0, which increments only, if a field is imported
(IF (strlen(fields[h].db_name)> 0) j++. And only if j > 1 (if an other field is
imported) the \t is printed.
An other small bug in the README:
-s start
Specify the first record-number in the xBase-file
we will insert.
should be
-e start
Specify the first record-number in the xBase-file
we will insert.

DESCRIPTION
|
|
This manual page documents the program dbf2pg. It takes
|
|
an xBase-style .dbf-file, and inserts it into the speci-
|
|
fied database and table.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-v Display some status-messages.
|
|
|
|
-vv Also display progress.
|
|
|
|
-f Convert all field-names from the .dbf-file to low-
|
|
ercase.
|
|
|
|
-u Convert the contents of all fields to uppercase.
|
|
|
|
-l Convert the contents of all fields to lowercase.
|
|
|
|
-c Create the table specified with -t. If this table
|
|
already exists, first DROP it.
|
|
|
|
-D Delete the contents of the table specified with -t.
|
|
Note that this table has to exists. An error is
|
|
returned if this is not the case.
|
|
|
|
-W Ask for password.
|
|
|
|
-d database
|
|
Specify the database to use. An error is returned
|
|
if this database does not exists. Default is
|
|
"test".
|
|
|
|
-t table
|
|
Specify the table to insert in. An error is
|
|
returned if this table does not exists. Default is
|
|
"test".
|
|
|
|
-h host
|
|
Specify the host to which to connect. Default is
|
|
"localhost".

|
|
-s oldname=[newname][,oldname=[newname]]
|
|
Change the name of a field from oldname to newname.
|
|
This is mainly used to avoid using reserved SQL-
|
|
keywords. When the new fieldname is empty, the field
|
|
is skipped in both the CREATE-clause and the
|
|
INSERT-clauses, in common words: it will not be present
|
|
in the SQL-table.
|
|
Example:
|
|
-s SELECT=SEL,remark=,COMMIT=doit
|
|
This is done before the -f operator has taken
|
|
effect!
|
|
|
|
-b start
|
|
Specify the first record-number in the xBase-file
|
|
we will insert.
|
|
|
|
-e end Specify the last record-number in the xBase-file we
|
|
will insert.
|
|
|
|
-B transaction_size
|
|
Specify the number of records per transaction,
|
|
default is all records.
|
|
|
|
-U username
|
|
Log as the specified user in the database.
|
|
|
|
-F charset_from
|
|
If specified, it converts the data from the speci-
|
|
fied charset. Example:
|
|
-F IBM437
|
|
Consult your system documentation to see the con-
|
|
versions available. This requires iconv to be enabled
|
|
in the compile.
|
|
|
|
-T charset_to
|
|
Together with -F charset_from , it converts the
|
|
data to the specified charset. Default is
|
|
"ISO-8859-1". This requires iconv to be enabled
|
|
in the compile.
|
|
|
|
ENVIRONMENT
|
|
This program is affected by the environment-variables as
|
|
used by "PostgresSQL." See the documentation of Post-
|
|
gresSQL for more info. This program can optionally use iconv
|
|
character set conversion routines.
|
|
|
|
BUGS
|
|
Fields larger than 8192 characters are not supported and
|
|
could break the program.
|
|
Some charset convertions could cause the output to be
|
|
larger than the input and could break the program.
