A flat file is a file that contains records. Each record is specified in a single line. Fields from each record may either have a fixed width, or may be delimited by commas (CSV), tube (|), whitespace, tabs, or any other character.
Flat File Database Manager will allow you to manage (update/delete/add) records in your flatfile database. Note: Currently flat files of fixed field width are not supported.
Features:
- user defined delimiter (usually pipe, colon, or comma (|:,)
- customizable presentation of different data types. Following data types supported:
- LIST - Rendered as list box or combo box.
- STRING - Rendered as regular input field.
- LOGICAL - Rendered as check box (flag).
- TEXT - Rendered as text area.
