Hi All,

Does Sybase has any facility to import data from DBF to Sybase database??

Thanks in advance
 
DBF?

In general, Sybase's importing facilities are a bit limited, but check out the various options for BCP (that'll be in the Utilities manual for your platform). You can work with a lot of different formats by setting the parameters appropriately. If you do a little digging/experimenting, you can even manipulate BCP's format files (or create your own) to suit a data format that didn't originate with BCP.

HTH,

John

U can create a flat file (tab delimited) of your dbf data and use bcp to import the data into sybase
