module DBF
  # DBF::Database::Foxpro is the primary interface to a Visual Foxpro database
  # container (.dbc file). When using this database container, long fieldnames
  # are supported, and you can reference tables directly instead of
  # instantiating Table objects yourself.
  # Table references are created based on the filename, but it this class
  # tries to correct the table filenames because they could be wrong for
  # case sensitive filesystems, e.g. when a foxpro database is uploaded to
  # a linux server.
