Convert DBF to FODS
Convert DBF spreadsheet documents to FODS format, edit and optimize documents online and free.
The DBF file extension, standing for Database File, is a widely recognized format used primarily for database management. Originating from the dBASE database management system in the early 1980s, DBF files store structured data in tabular form, facilitating efficient data retrieval and manipulation. This format gained popularity due to its compatibility with various database applications and programming languages, making it a standard choice for data storage and interchange in the professional IT environment. The DBF format remains relevant for legacy systems and applications requiring reliable data organization and accessibility.
The FODS (OpenDocument Flat XML Spreadsheet) file extension, developed by Oracle, is used for storing spreadsheet data in a plain XML format, making it more human-readable and easier to generate automatically without a spreadsheet editor. Unlike the more common ODS format, which uses a ZIP container, FODS files are not supported by Microsoft Excel but can be opened with OpenOffice Calc. This format was introduced as part of the ODF 1.2 specifications by OASIS.
