Are memo fields supported? #9

Closed jeremyross closed 1 year ago

jeremyross commented 1 year ago

When I connect to a dbf+fpt file, I see that large varchar columns are created for the memo field, but the data doesn't seem to be imported. All records have null for memo fields.

Memofields are supported. There could be an issue with certain versions of the DBF file. Could you please send us a sample DBF file ( something simple, to test ).

jeremyross commented 1 year ago

Unfortunately the data is all confidential, so I can't share.

The data file is a .DBF file, and the memo file has the same name as the data file, but with the extension .FPT. Is this what is expected?

jeremyross commented 1 year ago

Just tried renaming the .FPT file to .DBT, then nuked and reinitialized everything, but same result.

Info from file system:

> file mbrleav.DBT 
mbrleav.DBT: FoxPro FPT, blocks size 64, next free block index 3653, field type 1, field length 99

FPT files are a little different than DBT. Do you know if FPT files are supported?

wise-coders commented 1 year ago

We use this library to read the DBF files:

com.github.albfernandez:javadbf:1.14.0

Probably you already saw it.

Best regards, Dragos Pruteanu
