Editor's review
Need to find data matches in DBF files? DBF Comparer is an easy solution, which provides you with a detailed report on the comparison procedure. You will be glad to hear that this electronic wizard supports case sensitive and memo fields comparison.
Features: DBF Comparer helps you find out if two DBF files have similarities. The DBF Comparer program is a wizard-type application that helps you effectively manage and analyze your information by comparing the data fields in DBF files for matches or similarity. This comparison tool would thus help you organize your data well. Foe example if data has been duplicated on two different files you could easily get rid of one of them. The wizard in the easy to use interface takes you through the step by step chain to set up the comparison process. Obviously you choose the two DBF files to be compared. Then set the fields to be compared. It can compare case sensitive as well as memo fields, deleted records and comparison of whole records only. Specify the fields by which you`d like to set relations too.
You can also choose to use ANSI character sets in the comparison. The high speed scan engine generates results of the file compare process very quickly, the records being compared in either physical or logical order. Results are organized in color coded format for easy understanding. The matches and differences are coded differently. A detailed log file is also created that includes details of field differences if the option to compare records in physical order is set. This set of differences then can be used to reconcile the errors in the original DBF files. You can even create a new file that fixes the matches or differences as the need is. DBF files generated by any of Dbase III/IV, FoxPro, Visual FoxPro and other programs can be used with this comparer application.
Overall: Good and useful program if you do use the DBF files.
