Re: Import DB from DOS- dbase4

Hi

I have imported dBASEIV tables into Postgresql. I exported the tables
from dBASEIV as delimited text files and then copied in Postgresql. In
some table I needed to drop a field that was to become sequence in
Postgresql. Using gawk script I removed the column, converted the
records into sql insert query and let Postgresql assign sequential
numbers. Used gawk script once again. Now all new records get numbered
automatically. If you are interested, I could send to you gawk and "C"
scripts that I used .
