I'm looking for a simple way to import my data from Dbase into Interbase. Is there any simple way to do that?
Thank you.

Q: Import Dbase-Data into Interbase SQL ?
Ralf,
If you have the Borland Local Interbase Server for Windos version 4.0 user's guide you can take a look at page 96 and it discusses on how to insert data from an external file. It explains how to inport an Ascii file.
Also, you can use the TBatchMove component or program it your self.

Assuming that data types can be converted, try the copy table to the SQL alias method. I know paradox will do this. (a table at a time).
If you have the C/S version, the DataPump utilitiy should also work.
A guru has made all possible mistakes and remembered each one.

You also have to consider at least 2 issues:
1. Referential integrity 2. Null values
Will either of the suggested approach be able to deal with these issues intelligently?
