You should come close using Database Desktop: from the menu, use
Utilities|Copy...

Good luck!

You can always try the data migration expert, located in your Delphi
program group

Re:Convert dBASE table to InterBase

If you have Delphi 2, it comes with a Data Migration Expert, that
moves db data and structures from one database system to another. I'm
not 100% sure if dBASE files are accessible through the BDE without
help from ODBC, but as long as the BDE can see the data, you could use
that to port to InterBase. I don't know if this Expert is with Delphi
1.

Good luck,
Ed

Re:Convert dBASE table to InterBase

I just checked... the migration expert can access dBASE files, or at
least the dBASE files that come with DBDEMOS (the *.dbf files,
right?). Anyways, going from dBASE to InterBase should be a snap with
the Migration expert....

Try using database desktop. If you want to do it programmatically
(i.e., periodic transfers, conversion utility, etc.) then use a
TBatchMove component. Hook up the two tables to tTable components,
identify them in tBatchmove comp and set mode to bmCopy.

Destination table does not have to exist (will be over written if it
does). Also consider bmAppend to well, Append.

Re:Convert dBASE table to InterBase

Hmm the Data migration expert only exist in Client Server version right? I
have developer version and no such thing. Is there something available on
the net that can do this? And while I am asking is there something equal to
the Visual Query Builder available as well since we all cant afford to buy
the C/S version.
