| Category | Feature | Technical Detail | |----------|---------|-------------------| | | Multi‑file batch open | Up to 10 000 DBF files simultaneously, using a memory‑mapped I/O layer (Windows API CreateFileMapping ). | | | Large‑file support | Handles files up to 16 TB (limited by NTFS). | | | Unicode & code‑page auto‑detect | Detects DBF‑type 0x03, 0x83, 0x8B, 0xF5 and maps to UTF‑8/UTF‑16 via ICU library. | | Data Manipulation | Visual grid editor | Virtualized DataGrid with O(1) row‑access, cell‑level undo/redo stack (max depth 1000). | | | SQL‑like query engine | Embedded SQLite 3.45 engine with custom virtual table ( dbf_vtab ) that exposes DBF rows as a relational table. Supports SELECT , WHERE , GROUP BY , JOIN across multiple DBF files. | | | Scripting plug‑in | Lua 5.4 runtime with sandboxed API ( dbf.read() , dbf.update() , dbf.append() ). | | Conversion & Export | CSV/TSV/JSON/XML export | Streaming exporter that writes directly to a file handle to avoid OOM on large datasets. | | | Direct import to SQL Server / PostgreSQL | Bulk‑loader using native COPY (PostgreSQL) or bcp (SQL Server) with automatic data‑type mapping. | | Automation | Command‑line interface (CLI) | dbfman.exe /script=myjob.lua /log=job.log . Supports silent mode for scheduled tasks (Windows Task Scheduler, Azure Automation). | | | RESTful micro‑service wrapper | Optional Docker image ( dbfmanager/api:2.58.284 ) exposing the query engine via HTTP/JSON. | | Security & Auditing | File‑integrity verification | Generates SHA‑256 hash on load; optional tamper‑detect mode that refuses to open altered files. | | | Role‑based access control (RBAC) | Integrated with Windows Active Directory; per‑file read/write permissions stored in an embedded SQLite ACL DB. | | | Change log export | Generates an immutable, signed (RSA‑4096) changelog for each session. | | Extensibility | Plug‑in SDK (C++/C#) | Exported COM interfaces ( IDBFTable , IDBFRow ) for custom UI or ETL plug‑ins. | | | Python bindings (beta) | pip install dbfmanager provides thin wrapper around the CLI for Jupyter/Apache Airflow. | : Use the "Common Index" or "Fast Text
