What is a DBF file?
DBF (Database File) is a file format originally introduced by dBASE, but later adopted by other database programs like FoxPro and Clipper. It stores structured data in a table with fields and records.
DBF files are often used in legacy business applications and geographic information systems (GIS). They remain popular due to their simplicity and compatibility with modern tools like Excel, LibreOffice, and ArcGIS.
How to open DBF files
DBF files can be opened with database tools like dBASE, FoxPro, LibreOffice Base, Microsoft Access, and even Excel. GIS tools such as ArcGIS and QGIS also support DBF.
