Hello!

The maximum DBF field name length is 10 bytes and may only contain the letters ‘a’-‘z’ and ‘A’-‘Z’, digits ‘0’-‘9’, and the underscore ‘_’ character. The maximum number of records in a DBF table is 2 billion.

BTW, you can use Advantage ADT format instead of DBF ...

The Advantage Database Server supports a proprietary ADT table. The maximum ADT field name length is 128 bytes and may contain any character value except 0 (NULL), ';' (a semi-colon), or ',' (a comma).
