First look at Full Convert
The conversion of PostgreSQL to DBF database conversion using Full Convert is simple and has to do a few quick steps:
- Connect to your source target databases
- Optional: Choose which tables you want to convert (all are selected by default)
- Start the conversion, sit back and enjoy
- Optional: Explore your new data in the target database using a built-in database explorer
When we start Full Convert, you will notice a welcome panel with links for common tasks. Let"s start a new conversion.
Click the Create new conversion link or click the New button in the ribbon above.
Connection to source PostgreSQL database
Initial screen shows you that Full Convert will automatically detect your database if you don"t know which one do you have. Of course, if you do know your database, do select it from the list on the left.
We will choose PostgreSQL from the list of available source database engines. Connecting to Postgres is straightforward - we need to specify server name/IP, username, password and database name.
Connection to target DBF database
List on the left shows all the databases which can be filled with your source database data. Select the one you need and fill-in required parameters.
We will choose dBase and FoxPro (DBF) from the list of available database formats. Both dBase and FoxPro use DBF file format for their database table files.
Just type-in the folder containing your dBase database tables, or click the ellipsis button on the right and Full Convert will display Browse for Folder dialog.
Table selection
We will select all source tables for conversion by default. In case you only need some tables, simply deselect the ones you don"t need - or deselect all, then select just the tables you do need.
Review
Here you can see how many tables will be converted. To start conversion right away, click on the Convert! button. To show contents of target database without converting, click on the Explore button. Use that to inspect target database prior to conversion, or to save the conversion project for later before even converting the first time.
Click the Convert! button to get started.
Conversion progress
Conversion is highly-optimized to run as fast as possible, yet provides top-notch reliability. Huge tables are converted in small chunks at a time, preserving memory and ensuring that your computer stays fast and responsive.
