I've ever seen somewhere that
it's possible to use sql*plus to manipulate
dbf file like that:
1.build a dsn 'testdbf'using ms dbase driver
2.copy dbf files to the 'testdbf' directory
3.in sql*plus
'conn a/a@odbc:testdbf'
4.then we can do things as usual

but I didn't success.
error:
ORA-03121:

Does anyone know more about it?
Please Help.
Thanks!
