You need to open and write the DBASE4 table. Which Delphi route please?

I need to open and add a DBASE4 table using Delphi (7 and 2009/10). This is currently done using home code. I suppose this task is easy to accomplish with Delphi, but what communication mechanism should I use? I understand that the BDE is old and less supported now, but I don't want additional DLLs and support files if possible. I am using the pro version. Bree

There is an open source TDBF component - http://tdbf.sourceforge.net/ .

Benefits:



  • Is free
  • Plain
  • Still maintained and developed
  • Almost no mistakes
  • There is no BDE or other library overhead.

If you try any commercial components, be sure to check if you can get your money back if they don't work. DBASE was a kind of standard, but different packages introduced new types of indexes and fields. As you may not be able to get the dcu version for testing, buying it to get the source to find it won't work for files that you may have painful, no money back guarantee. Was there, got a refund.

Check components on Torry .net

I've used Halcyon in the past and it's pretty good.
