+
+
+NAME
+       dbf2sql	-  Insert  xBase-style	.dbf-files  into  a Post-
+       greSQL-table
+
+SYNOPSIS
+       "dbf2pg [options] dbf-file"
+       Options:
+       [-v[v]] [-f] [-u | -l] [-c | -D] [-d database] [-t  table]
+       [-h   host]   [-s  oldname=newname[,oldname=newname]]  [-s
+       start] [-e end] [-W] [-U username]  [-B	transaction_size]
+       [-F charset_from [-T charset_to]]
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+       This  manual  page documents the program dbf2pg.  It takes
+       an xBase-style .dbf-file, and inserts it into  the  speci-
+       fied database and table.
+
+   OPTIONS
+       -v     Display some status-messages.
+
+       -vv    Also display progress.
+
+       -f     Convert  all field-names from the .dbf-file to low-
+	      ercase.
+
+       -u     Convert the contents of all fields to uppercase.
+
+       -l     Convert the contents of all fields to lowercase.
+
+       -c     Create the table specified with -t.  If this  table
+	      already exists, first DROP it.
+
+       -D     Delete the contents of the table specified with -t.
+	      Note that this table has to  exists.  An	error  is
+	      returned if this is not the case.
+
+       -W     Ask for password.
+
+       -d database
+	      Specify  the  database to use. An error is returned
+	      if  this	database  does	not  exists.  Default  is
+	      "test".
+
+       -t table
+	      Specify  the  table  to  insert  in.  An	error  is
+	      returned if this table does not exists. Default  is
+	      "test".
+
+       -h host
+	      Specify  the  host  to which to connect. Default is
+	      "localhost".

+
+
+
+
+dbf2sql(1L)					      dbf2sql(1L)
+
+
+       -s oldname=newname[,oldname=newname]
+	      Change the name of a field from oldname to newname.
+	      This  is	mainly	used to avoid using reserved SQL-
+	      keywords. Example:
+	      -s SELECT=SEL,COMMIT=doit
+	      This is done  before  the  -f  operator  has  taken
+	      effect!
+
+       -s start
+	      Specify  the  first record-number in the xBase-file
+	      we will insert.
+
+       -e end Specify the last record-number in the xBase-file we
+	      will insert.
+
+       -B transaction_size
+	      Specify  the  number  of	records  per transaction,
+	      default is all records.
+
+       -U username
+	      Log as the specified user in the database.
+
+       -F charset_from
+	      If specified, it converts the data from the  speci-
+	      fied charset. Example:
+	      -F IBM437
+	      Consult  your  system documentation to see the con-
+	      vertions available.
+
+       -T charset_to
+	      Together with -F charset_from  ,	it  converts  the
+	      data   to   the	specified   charset.  Default  is
+	      "ISO-8859-1".
+
+ENVIRONMENT
+       This program is affected by the	environment-variables  as
+       used  by  "PostgresSQL."   See  the documentation of Post-
+       gresSQL for more info.
+
+BUGS
+       Fields larger than 8192 characters are not  supported  and
+       could break the program.
+       Some  charset  convertions  could  cause  the output to be
+       larger than the input and could break the program.

+.TH dbf2sql 1L \" -*- nroff -*-
+.SH NAME
+dbf2sql \- Insert xBase\-style .dbf\-files into a PostgreSQL\-table
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B dbf2pg [options] dbf-file
+.br
+.br
+Options:
+.br
+[-v[v]] [-f] [-u | -l] [-c | -D] [-d database] [-t table]
+[-h host] [-s oldname=newname[,oldname=newname]]
+[-s start] [-e end] [-W] [-U username] [-B transaction_size]
+[-F charset_from [-T charset_to]]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page documents the program
+.BR dbf2pg.
+It takes an xBase-style .dbf-file, and inserts it into the specified
+database and table.
+.SS OPTIONS
+.TP
+.I "\-v"
+Display some status-messages.
+.TP
+.I "-vv"
+Also display progress.
+.TP
+.I "-f"
+Convert all field-names from the .dbf-file to lowercase.
+.TP
+.I "-u"
+Convert the contents of all fields to uppercase.
+.TP
+.I "-l"
+Convert the contents of all fields to lowercase.
+.TP
+.I "-c"
+Create the table specified with
+.IR \-t .
+If this table already exists, first
+.BR DROP
+it.
+.TP
+.I "-D"
+Delete the contents of the table specified with
+.IR \-t .
+Note that this table has to exists. An error is returned if this is not the
+case.
+.TP
+.I "-W"
+Ask for password.
+.TP
+.I "-d database"
+Specify the database to use. An error is returned if this database does not
+exists. Default is "test".
+.TP
+.I "-t table"
+Specify the table to insert in. An error is returned if this table does not
+exists. Default is "test".
+.TP
+.I "-h host"
+Specify the host to which to connect. Default is "localhost".
+.TP
+.I "-s oldname=newname[,oldname=newname]"
+Change the name of a field from
+.BR oldname
+to
+.BR newname .
+This is mainly used to avoid using reserved SQL-keywords. Example:
+.br
+.br
+-s SELECT=SEL,COMMIT=doit
+.br
+.br
+This is done
+.BR before
+the
+.IR -f
+operator has taken effect!
+.TP
+.I "-s start"
+Specify the first record-number in the xBase-file we will insert.
+.TP
+.I "-e end"
+Specify the last record-number in the xBase-file we will insert.
+.TP
+.I "-B transaction_size"
+Specify the number of records per transaction, default is all records.
+.TP
+.I "-U username"
+Log as the specified user in the database.
+.TP
+.I "-F charset_from"
+If specified, it converts the data from the specified charset. Example:
+.br
+.br
+-F IBM437
+.br
+.br
+Consult your system documentation to see the convertions available.
+.TP
+.I "-T charset_to"
+Together with
+.I "-F charset_from"
+, it converts the data to the specified charset. Default is "ISO-8859-1".
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+This program is affected by the environment-variables as used
+by
+.B PostgresSQL.
+See the documentation of PostgresSQL for more info.
+.SH BUGS
+Fields larger than 8192 characters are not supported and could break the
+program.
+.br
+Some charset convertions could cause the output to be larger than the input
+and could break the program.
