The pxtools are a set of tools to convert a Paradox-database into a SQL-database. This is a fork of https://github.com/ustramooner/pxtools, which is derived from the original pxtools, which used to be found at http://www.kneschke.de/projekte/paradox/ (it is now a 404). Original author: mailto:jan@kneschke.de pxTools ======= pxinfo ------ dumps the basic infomations of the given paradox-file. pxsqldump --------- Parses the Paradox-database and dump the corresponding SQL-strings (CREATE TABLE and INSERT INTO) on stdout. use -n to overwrite the tablename. use -f to specify the filename of t pxcsvdump --------- Parses the Paradox-database and dump the corresponding CSV-strings on stdout. use -n to overwrite the tablename. Supported Field Types ===================== Currently the following field-types are recognized: ALPHA DATE SHORTINT LONGINT CURRENCY NUMBER LOGICAL TIMESTAMP MEMOBLOB the rest is currenly not supported. mail me if you need more. Problems ======== Y2K --- Paradox-files are NOT Y2K-safe. Currently there is a workarund for this bug in pxconvert.c that adds 100 years if the date is before 1.1.1970. Index-files ----------- The information you get out of the index-files by pxsqldump is not rellay usefull. It all the data it can find, but the header is currently parsed wrong. Anyway these index-files are not needed to convert a paradox-database into a SQL-database. (PRIMARY KEY and FOREIGN KEY can't be detected yet.) TIMESTAMP --------- The field-type TIMESTAMP returned by pxsqldump has a precission of +/- 1 second.
