Viewing the dictionary data files

To view or edit the data files you will need a program that can work with large text documents. Do not try to use Microsoft Windows Notepad - it will almost certainly crash!

Converting Thai dictionary data files

You don't mention which database you plan to use, but you'll almost certainly need to edit/convert the files before they can be imported into a database. You can do this yourself or download files I converted last year. The converted files are formatted as XML documents and can be imported into Microsoft Access database program.

Importing into database

I've downloaded the files and managed to open them in a text editor. I'd like to import the dictionary files into a database. Any ideas how I can do this?
