What it does
WhiteTown's Database Converters change formats including DBF, Excel, CSV, Access, and XML. The converter family provides graphical and command-line interfaces, with platform-specific format coverage.
Choose the platform and conversion direction first: Windows includes Access routes, while the Mac pack also lists SQLite outputs from CSV, Excel and DBF. In the Windows DBF-to-CSV tool, select sources, input charset and output file/folder, then choose delimiter, quotes, dates and deleted-record handling. Multiple inputs can stay separate or combine into one file. Existing outputs can be overwritten, appended, skipped, uniquely renamed or prompted. Expert mode turns GUI settings into repeatable commands; this tool's in-application API requires a Site licence. The family uses local desktop processing, free trials and perpetual licences; upgrade/support access has separate edition wording.
