Using the paradoxReader from the command line
The command-line interface produces CSV from .DB files. An example invocation of the command-line interface which produces CSV from "CONTACTS.DB" is:
java -jar target/paradoxReader-1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar --file=src/test/resources/CONTACTS.DB
Using the paradoxReader in code
To use the paradoxReader in code, supply an InputStream to a .DB file, and an implementation of PDXTableListener to the class DBTableFile. An example from the unit tests:
final InputStream inputStream = TestDBFile.class.getResourceAsStream(filename);
final DBTableFile pdxFile = new DBTableFile();
final PDXTableListener pdxTableListener = new MyPDXTableListener();
pdxFile.read(inputStream, pdxTableListener);
The interface PDXTableListener looks like this:
public interface PDXTableListener {
void finish();
void header(DBTableHeader pdxTableHeader);
void record(List<DBTableValue> values);
void start(String filename);
}
The record method will be called once per record in the table file.
SQL Output
Versions 1.6+ contain the class PDXTableReaderSQLListenerImpl, a class which produces CREATE and INSERT SQL.
