- Description
- A DBF (Database File) is a file format that originated with the dBASE database management system, which was one of the first widely used database systems in the 1980s. The format has since been adopted and supported by other database and software applications for storing structured data in a tabular form. A DBF file typically contains a header, which defines the structure of the database, including information about fields (columns) such as name, type, and size, followed by records (rows).
- Microsoft Symbolic Link File (SYLK) is a file type used for exchanging information between applications in a Microsoft Windows environment. It is a plain text file format consisting of lines of text with fields separated by semicolons. SYLK files typically contain data such as spreadsheet values, labels, and formulas.
