How to import data from a DBF file to SQL Server

Data migration needs to be quick, dependable, and simple to automate. For data import and export processes, which don't have to take a long time, this is very important. It is most convenient to configure your import settings once, save them to a template, and then use that template automatically whenever you need it (or you can even schedule regular import operations at a certain time) if you want to set up a recurring import operation (for example, you need to regularly update a table with data from a file).

You need a clever, adaptable assistant that can work with a wide variety of data formats in order to accomplish all of this. Additionally, there is no better option than dbForge Data Pump, a flexible SSMS add-in that facilitates data migration between external sources and SQL Server databases, assuming a) you work with Microsoft SQL Server and b) you are a frequent user of SSMS. Multiple data formats, including TXT, XLS, XLSX, MDB, XML, JSON, CSV, ODBC, Google Sheets, and the one we'll be discussing below, DBF, are supported by Data Pump.
