PortaBase (portable database) is a personal database application that is available for many platforms, including Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, and Maemo. PortaBase's features include: - One data table per file - String, Integer, Decimal, Boolean, Note (multi-line text), Date, Time, Calculation, Sequence, Image, and Enum column types - Add, edit, and delete rows of data - Custom data views (subsets of the columns in any order) - Filter the displayed rows using sets of conditions - Sort the rows by any combination of columns, each in ascending or descending order - Optional page navigation buttons, with a custom number of rows per page - Add, delete, rearrange, and rename columns at any time - Specify default values for columns - View summary statistics for columns (total, average, min, max, etc.) - Import data from CSV, XML, and MobileDB files - Export data to CSV and XML files - Command-line format conversions (to and from XML, from MobileDB) - Data file encryption - Unicode support - Pick any available font to use throughout the application COMMANDS
PortaBase uses the following commands to indicate a command-line file conversion: fromxml Create a new PortaBase file from the input XML file. frommobiledb Create a new PortaBase file from the input MobileDB file. fromcsv Add rows to an existing PortaBase file from the input CSV file. toxml Create a new XML file from the input PortaBase file. tocsv Create a new CSV file from the input PortaBase file. If an encrypted PortaBase file is to be read or created, the following option can be used immediately after the command: -p <password> Open or create the encrypted PortaBase file using the given password The toxml and tocsv commands accept the following options: -v <view> Apply the named view before exporting. -s <sorting> Apply the named sorting before exporting. -f <filter> Apply the named filter before exporting. The fromcsv command supports one option: -e <encoding> Specifies the text encoding of the imported CSV file; options are UTF-8 (the default) and Latin-1. OPTIONS
PortaBase accepts the following options: -h, --help Display usage instructions. FILES
$HOME/.qt/portabaserc - user-specific settings. Stores information on font, checkbox editing, delete confirmations, etc. AUTHOR

This manual page documents briefly the cbcodec commands. cbcodec is a tool to use encoding and decoding features provided by Cabin. This command is used in the above format. file specifies a input file. If it is omitted, the standard input is read. OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the file:///usr/share/doc/qdbm-doc/spex.html#cabincli. -d perform decoding (unescaping), not encoding (escaping). -br break up URL into elements. -rs resolve relative URL. -l output the tailing newline. -e expr specify input data directly. -c num limit the number of columns of the encoded data. -hd parse MIME and extract headers in TSV format. -bd parse MIME and extract the body. -part num parse MIME and extract a part. -ec code specify the input encoding, which is UTF-8 by default. -qp use quoted-printable encoding, which is Base64 by default. -dc output the encoding name instead of the result string when decoding. -t parse CSV. Convert the data into TSV. Tab and new-line in a cell are deleted. -html parse CSV. Convert the data into HTML. -p parse XML. Show tags and text sections with dividing headers. -tsv parse XML. Show the result in TSV format. Characters of tabs and new-lines are URL-encoded. -gz use GZIP format. -crc output the CRC32 checksum as hexadecimal and big endian. -ic code specify the input encoding, which is detected automatically by default. -oc code specify the output encoding, which is UTF-8 by default. -ol ltype convert line feed characters, with `unix'(LF), `dos'(CRLF), and `mac'(CR). -cn detect the input encoding and show its name. -wc count the number of characters of the input string of UTF-8. -um output mappings of UCS-2 characters and C strings of UTF-16BE and UTF-8. -wf output in W3CDTF format. -rf output in RFC 1123 format. -utc output the coordinate universal time.
