Information about CSV and DBF file formats

🔸 File format CSV DBF
🔸 Full name CSV - Comma-Separated Values Database File
🔸 File extension .csv .dbf
🔸 MIME type text/csv application/dbase, application/dbf
🔸 Developed by Informational RFC dBASE
🔸 Type of format multi-platform, serial data streams Database
🔸 Description In computing, a comma-separated values (CSV) file stores tabular data (numbers and text) in plain text. Each line of the file is a data record. Each record consists of one or more fields, separated by commas. The comma as a field separator is the source of the name for this file format. The database management software dBASE used the DBF extension to save its standard database files. Due to the file format's popularity, dBASE is not the only database program that supports DBF files. Other "xBASE" applications support the file format as well. This popularity is based on the easy comprehend the structure and the fact that DBF was one of the earliest files of its type adapted by the database community.
🔸 Technical details The CSV file format is not standardized. The basic idea of separating fields with a comma is clear, but that idea gets complicated when the field data may also contain commas or even embedded line-breaks. CSV implementations may not handle such field data or use quotation marks to surround the field. The contents of a DBF file comprise multiple sets of data that are organized and stored in arrays. As a file format, DBF has been introduced in dBASE II. It has been used in the proceeding versions of dBASE III, III+, and IV. DBF files were one of the first database files with a header that allows programs that do not natively know the data structure in a specific file to read DBF files regardless. Thus, they can be opened in Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice Calc, and many other programs.
