Hi !

Does anyone know, any package or something to read DBF files with Ada?
I know, y can convert DBF files to CSV and then read them like a plain text   
document, but if it's possible i'd like to read directly DBF files.

Thanks a lot

Data Base File. Files containing Data, organized in columns, usually used 
with dBase.

A storage format for database tables created by Ashton Tate for 
dBase III.  At least that's what *I* think people mean when they talk
about DBF files. ;-)

DBF files accessible thru the ODBC interface, at least under the Win32 platform.
You can use ODBC binding from the GNADE package
http://gnade.sourceforge.net/

or thru the Pascal Obry ODBC bindings.

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pascal.obry/contrib.html

or something else Ada95 ODBC bindings.
