DBF Sync

The DBF Sync application offers a comprehensive solution for updating and synchronizing selected fields in .dbf files. Designed for IT professionals, database system administrators, and other database users, this wizard-based tool is indispensable for routine maintenance tasks. With a variety of useful features, DBF Sync is perfect for automating and scheduling different database tasks.

One typical use for this program is updating a main file with fields such as 'product id', 'product name', and 'product price'. A second file can contain updated prices and product names, with any of the fields being used to update fields in the main file. These fields can be selected from within DBF Sync.

DBF Sync supports projects, enabling users to enter and store settings and file details for future use. The program also supports a command-line interface, allowing for automatic execution from an application scheduler like the Windows Scheduled Tasks wizard.

Users require a way to operate powerful database tools and observe the effects of operations without accidentally damaging data. For this reason, DBF Sync has a simulation mode. This mode shows operations that would have been performed without affecting the target data. The program saves operation details to a log file along with any changes made.

To prevent accidental data loss, DBF Synchronizer can create backup copies of the target file before updating it. Once complete, users can view all changes either in the log file or by opening a unique 'visual synchronization' window that displays all changes in a color-coded format.

DBF Sync supports Clipper, Dbase III / IV, FoxPro, and Visual FoxPro formats. It runs on Windows 98 / NT / 2000 / XP / 2003. Overall, DBF Sync is an easy-to-use, powerful tool that simplifies routine maintenance tasks and automates essential database operations.
