Re: Where is the code in files for mapinfo 7
If there is only textual information with no graphic objects, then a minimum of two files is needed: *.TAB and *.DAT. Basic file set for viewing data and its graphic representation in vector form within Mapinfo Professional requires a minimum of four files, normally the *.TAB, *.MAP, *.DAT and *.ID
- .TAB (The ASCII file that is the link between all other files and holds information about the type of data set file )
- .DAT (The file that stores the attribute data. This a dBase III DBF file).As an alternative to the *.DAT file, MapInfo Professional can use other data formats such as, *.TXT, *.XLS *.WK*, *.MDB (and for each Micosoft Access format the software also makes another small file). MapInfo Professional still creates a .TAB file that contains information about the data set file, and the user interacts with the TAB file only.
- .MAP (Stores the graphic and geographic information needed to display each vector feature on a map)
- .ID (Stores information linking graphic data to the database information. This contains a 4-byte integer index into the MAP file for each feature).
- .IND (Optional index file for tabular data. This is present if any columns are indexed).
