<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 580696 by <a href="/recipes/users/4189558/">Tomas Nordin</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/database/">database</a>). </p> <p>This fork assumes a desire for limited selection of field names. With huge files this might be necessary on some machines.</p> <p>Also, assuming that the meaning of null in a dbf file means zero might be a mistake, so the fork adds an argument nullreplace as way to choose what to replace null with. Null is sometimes used to mean missing value. This change is decoupled from the selective names feature.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>A suggestion of an odometer implementation. Each "roll" in the odometer is defined by the caller. It is a list holding any objects, only the length of the list is important.</p> <p>Can be good to have if something need to be tested in all possible combinations.</p>
