Creating a Native provider for DBF
Create a Native provider for working with DBF databases, which will work not through ODBC driver, but directly with DBF files.

So if this has been marked "completed", does that mean there will be native DBF access?

I am very interested in a library which works with NDX, and CDX indexes.

Still have some apps in dbase 4, MDX and DBT support is needed, this will be a great addition and will help us a lot until we get everything converted to SQL.

This is great news. Our main app still sits on .dbf.

When can we expect this new feature?

EXCELLENT news really!
We daily use .dbf .mdx files (legacy) -

There is a logistics project I couldn't do beacuse of .CDX support missind and connection thru ODBC on my side. Even we are in year 2016, we still have lots of projects which need webservice support for older applications. Those applications are not feasible for rebuild from scratch. So, it is needed full Visual Foxpro 9.0 support.

Need the full support for Visual FoxPro 9.0 tables with indexes (.CDX), memo-fields (.FPT) etc.
I tried to use UniDAC with Visual FoxPro 9.0 table:
- first I had to remove the .CDX index - UniDAC was unable to open the table with it
(I didn't try memo-fields, but I think this would be the same)
- second I had to shorten the long table name - not supported by ODBC
- so, it's useless for real work -

+1 !
I'm interrested too !
DBF + CDX for visual foxpro 9.0 table ...
Actually I'm using Advantage Database components !
Thanks !
RemyI use MyDac with a lot of success !

Problem is that there is no demo of UniDAC with dBase tables. And when I contacted your support about this I got no help at all.

The ODBC driver used for DBFProvider doesn't support Microsoft Foxpro tables with index or memo/blob.

Wieslaw commented
The large meaning has a possibility of the work with dBase 7

A nice component for xBase

It should work with the different types of indexes of DBF tables: cdx, ndx, ntx (clipper), structural foxpro indexes, etc.

The latest UniDAC version has DBF provider, that works through ODBC. Currently we are studying the usefulness of implementiong native UDF provider. To make a decision, we would like to know what additional features our users want from the native DBF provider, which are not present in our ODBC DBF provider. In the comments, please specify the ODBC DBF provider features you miss.

Halcyon and TXQuery are a good starting point, I tried myself, but I had so far no success with integrating in the abstract classes of UniDac.

We do lots of projects where we must retain concurrency with a clipper application (DBF files and NTX indices), so this would be huge for us!
