CLI tool for converting DBF files (dBase, FoxPro etc) to SQLite.

## Installation

    pip install dbf-to-sqlite

## Usage

    $ dbf-to-sqlite --help

    Usage: dbf-to-sqlite [OPTIONS] DBF_PATHS... SQLITE_DB

      Convert DBF files (dBase, FoxPro etc) to SQLite

      https://github.com/simonw/dbf-to-sqlite

    Options:

      --version      Show the version and exit.

      --table TEXT   Table name to use (only valid for single files)

      -v, --verbose  Show what's going on

      --help         Show this message and exit.

Example usage:

This will create a new SQLite database called `database.db` containing one table for each of the `DBF` files in the current directory.
