Hello!!!!
I have a question I am trying to obtain from a DBF table all the data,
before working with DBF I use to work with MySql and it
always work the program I have, I use something like this
to obtain the file SELECT * INTO OUTFILE 'myfile' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
But now using a DBF table did not work
Can someone point me in the right direction???
Thanks
this is the code so far:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:XBase:/Proyecto")
                                or die $DBI::errstr;
    my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * INTO OUTFILE 'mydata.csv' FIELDS
+ TERMINATED BY ',' FROM reg501")
                                or die $dbh->errstr();
    $sth->execute() or die $sth->errstr();

    while ((my @row) = $sth->fetchrow_array()) {
    $counter++;
   print "Reg:$counter\t@row\n";
  
  }
