Data file of dBASE format

At the present moment ObjectLand supports export of tables to DBF files of database management system formats: Clipper, dBASE III+, dBASE IV, FoxBASE 2.0, FoxPro 2.0.

Names and number of fields in DBF file and in ObjectLand table should not necessarily coincide. To set correspondence between fields in DBF file and in a table it is required to perform setting operation which serves for indicating values of which table fields should be exported to which fields of DBF file. When setting such a correspondence one should take into account the correspondence of data types of DBF file to data types of ObjectLand tables (table 70-1).
