dBase (DBF) Feature Representation

In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Type Attributes), this format also adds format-specific attributes (Format Attributes).

The DBF feature attributes consist of the column names that were in the DBF table.

All DBF features contain a dbf_type attribute, which is always set to dbf_none as there is no geometry to DBF features. This shows that the feature was generated from a DBF file.
