I have a big (>500mb) .xyz file, which I want to import to my ArcGIS pro project. It has 3 columns and ~17 million rows.
Already converted to a text file and verified that it is read properly. I ran the "table to dBase" tool, the tool is reported to perform successfully, but:
1) output is not a dbf file, which I should be getting in order to display XY and Z data
2) instead, I am getting an "info" folder, which contains 4 files: DIR, DAT, NIT and XML. I see no optionality to import these into my project.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I think the dBase output is that info folder, what use that info folder is I have no idea! If you just want a .dbf use Table To Table—Conversion toolbox | Documentation

I would recommend making it a geodatabase table for file that size, using either of the recommended options in the
Table To dBASE—Conversion toolbox | Documentation
The Copy Rows and Table To Table tools can also be used to convert a table to a dBASE file
gdb tables will function better than trying to work with a dbf.

Is your file extension *.xyz? Many geoprocessing tools expect certain data formats to have matching file extensions. e.g., comma-delimited files have *.csv extensions.
