Обсуждение: problems with dbf-files

Hello!

I run postgreSQL-7.2 on RedHat Linux 7.2, kernel 2.4. I want to import and
export dbf-tables in and from postgres. I found pg2xbase library that
requires xbase library. After installation, the conversion does not work
(segmentation fault, exports empty tables, distortion of numeric fields in
import). My questions are:

1) Did I overlook any switch or parameter to ./configure the postgres?
2) The pg2xbase recommends the xbase-1.8.1 which I cannot find. I use
xbase-2.0.0. Too many zeros, can it be a problem? Can I get xbase-1.8.1.
somewhere?
3) Does anybody know a better (more stable...) way of import/export of
dbf-tables?

Thank you for any tips.

Please try /contrib/dbase in the PostgreSQL sources.  That should work,
or at least it has in the past.   Please report back any problems.
