How to import data from a DBF file to SQL Server

Data migration must be fast, reliable, and easily automatable. This is especially relevant for data import and export operations, which don’t need to take that much time. If you want to set up a recurring import operation (for instance, you need to regularly update a table with data from a file), the most convenient way of doing it is to configure your import settings once, save them to a template, and simply apply that template automatically whenever you need it (or you can even schedule regular import operations at a certain time).

To get all this done, you need a smart and flexible assistant that would cover a vast number of data formats to choose from. And if a) you’re dealing with Microsoft SQL Server and b) you’re an avid user of SSMS, you won’t find a better candidate than dbForge Data Pump, a versatile SSMS add-in that helps migrate data between external sources and SQL Server databases. Data Pump supports multiple data formats such as TXT, XLS, XLSX, MDB, XML, JSON, CSV, ODBC, Google Sheets, and the one we’ll be talking about below — DBF.
