I have recently been working on a job with a client who gets their data from county data. The county data is contained in .dbf files. Every year the data is updated and my client will get a CD/DVD from someone containing the county data in .dbf format. Now the problem is that my systems have been developed to work entirely off of MySQL (that is not going to change) and I will not be working with this particular client in the future when he gets these annual data updates. So I need a PHP/Python/Ruby script that will convert the .dbf to MySQL once he has uploaded the pertinent .dbf files. All I need, is pointers to correct sources. I don't mind having to do a lot of coding. I just have absolutely no clue where to start. Thanks.
