Read paradox DBF files and import in H2 database

Question

can i import DBF files (i think it is files of paradox database) into H2 database?

I think a good solution is to write a small wrapper in java to read dbf data and save in h2 database, there is a jdbc driver to use paradox with java?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Paradox files are not DBF. These belong to dBASE. I think Paradox files have a .DB extension. In any case, whether the files you are working with belong to Paradox or dBASE, you can easily convert the data into a format H2 can import. Your solution would work.

Answer 2

I would go for converting the .DBF files to .SQL script (with CREATEs and INSERTs). It seems to pretty much software on the Internet which could help. I haven't used any of these, so I can't suggest a particular one.
